Re: [NTG-context] Entering text into layers
Thanks Hans,
This is just what I'm looking for.
One last quick question if I may. I've noticed that \setlayerframed is
not in the command reference on the wiki. I guess that by looking at
the source code for Context would be the best way of finding it's
attributes but I don't have a clue which file it is likely to be in.
Could you give me a few hints on how to do this please?
Thanks again for your help.
Best Wishes
Keith

I have been designing a simple document which comprises of 4 areas (3
for text, 1 for images) on an A4 page. I thought that the best way to
do this would be using Layers and so far I come up with the code below
after scanning the wiki. As you can see it is not very sophisticated,
but I'm not a regular user of Context. The question I have is what
would be the best way to add text to the various layers? Some would
have quite a lot of text and I was wondering if would be better to
define the text for the different layers in some way rather than enter
into the braces of \setlayerframed. The code would look messy this
way. Finally, can layers be positioned within layers or would it be
better to use overlays? I'm thinking about adding three columns to the
Footer layer.
Thanks for your help

[NTG-context] Entering text into layers
