Thanks Patrick for the example. It's a start (the A4 typesetting area
looks good). Now I need to flesh out some of the details. If I
explain how I'd go about it using Hans diagram on pg 30 of the english
ConTeXt manual, maybe I'll make myself clearer (well at least clearer
than my initial correspondence).
mainly a matter of calculating, like:
1) define A4 typesetting area
width = 2.5 times the length of the lowercase alphabet in
the default font -- lucida-bright at 12pt
height = golden-ratio times width
this is the inclusive area header + text + footer.
\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{\dorecurse{26}{\character\recurselevel}}
\def \MyRatio {1.5}
\edef\MyWidth {\the\dimexpr(2.5\wd\scratchbox)}
\edef\MyHeight{\the\dimexpr(\MyRatio\wd\scratchbox)}
\setuplayout
[height=\MyHeight,
width=\MyWidth]
\showframe
\starttext
\input tufte
\stoptext
