Your suggestion with foregroundstyle and foregroundcolor works. Thank you! \setlayer[AddressBg] {\framed[width=55mm,height=30mm, align=right,background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray, foregroundcolor=red,foregroundstyle=\ss\tfa]{\xmlall{#1}{/address}}} My question (my ’need’) was quite

Hi Thomas, Thanks for your new suggestions. As a matter of fact, I yesterday found the following suggestion (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers): \definelayer[AddressBg] [location={right,top}, y=6cm, x=12cm, color=red, style=\ss\tfa]. I used this in the sample suggested by you

Dear Pablo, Thank you for your insightful remarks. I tried your suggestions. As you predicted, the Knuth tex is processed when put here, without using the buffer mechanism. \startsetups[letter:section:content] \input knuth \relax \stopsetups Yet any codes (\TeX\) are not. Nevertheless, I

Dear Contex’ers,This morning I have been experimenting with the solutions suggested by Thomas and Wolfgang.Thomas’ solution works, it produces two distinct letters, yet the address is probably on another layer. This means that it is not shifted to the right, at least not with the command
