When you want to set all values to zero and only a few to certain value you
first clone the “page” layout (where everything is zero) and set then the rest
to desired value.
The horizontal dimensions are determined by the three values
- backspace (distance from the left/inner margin)
- cutspace (distance from the right/outer margin)
- width (width of the textblock)
Normally you need only two values because when you set backspace + width the
cutspace is calculated and when you set backspace + cutspace you can write
width=middle and the width of the text block will be calculated.
The vertical dimensions are calculated also three values
- topspace (distance from the top margin)
- bottomspace (distance from the bottom margin)
- height (height of the textblock)
You need here also only two value, topspace + height which all calculate the
bottomspace or topspace + bottomspace in combination with height=middle.
I haven’t mentioned the header and footer above because they are part of the
textblock and will take space from this area.
When you use the information above for a layout you need
\definelayout
[middle]
[page]
[backspace=10mm,
topspace=10mm,
height=210mm,
height=277mm]
\setuplayout[middle]
\showframe[text][text]
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par}
\stoptext
nice tip ... up to Pavel to wikify this ...
