Re: [NTG-context] Hairline in header
how can I move the thinrule further up in this example? I'd like to use
\thinrule but still want the position like this:
\setupheader[text][after=\hrule]
Hi Florian,
Maybe this can help you.
\setuplayout[header=1cm,headerdistance=1cm]
\setupheader[text][after=\vskip-0.8em\thinrule]
\starttext
\dorecurse{12}{\input knuth\par}
\stoptext
Thanks, that works. I wonder if you can configure this with \setupthinrules.
\setupthinrules[before=\vskip-0.8em] does no work.

Hm, if you use:

it can work.
However ConTeXt advises to use \blank instead of \vskip, for example:

Is there something missing?
It should probably be called texmfcnf.lua instead of contextcnf.lua.
And there's also a high chance that the settings in that file are
wrong if you just took the file from distribution. The settings should
somehow match the contents in texmf.cnf.

[NTG-context] Replacing a piece of a paper
Hello, I'm trying to handle a special problem. I guess ConTeXt would be useful for this purpose, although its primary function is to typeset. But - I have many drawings - they are black-and-white one-sided PDFs of A1 or A2 size (typical technical drawings). The bottom right area of size 210 x 330 mm should be deleted - or over-painted by a white rectangle (or picture or MP code). And next a new PDF of A4 size should be placed on the right bottom area, just on the white (deleting) area. I wouldn't have problem with batch processing the number of files. But I would need an example how to take the original A2 PDF, place a whitening area on it and then to place a new PDF over it; I'm not experienced enough in layering with ConTeXt and I guess this may be the way. Would it be possible to provide a small example of such processing an arbitrary file? I can send a sample A2 or A1 PDF, and also a replacing A4, if necessary. Thank you in advance.

Mojca I need to upgrade some drawings, or more precisely, to upgrade their title block as some its fields need to be changed (e.g. date 9/2010 to 1/2011, the level of the documentation and so on). Finally, the PDFs are to be printed to a physical printer (= physical pieces of paper) and also to be provided to the third party like digital documents.

You can also crop the pdf (\clip[mp=shape that you want to
clip]{\externalfigure[...]}) and place that on paper using layers. That
way, even if layers are toggled on a pdfviewer, the reader will see blank
text (as opposed to old text).
But, I believe that clipping still inserts the whole pdf, so if someone
really wanted, they can still extract out the original pdf. So this is not
a failsafe way of hiding information; but is better than just adding a
layer over the title.

Ahhh ... I guess that needs some divine inspiration to know ...
And yes, texmfcnf.lua should be carefully designed to match the
structure of texmf trees in debian.
Of course, looking into it I graasped that now.
Why on earth can mtxrun not simply load the main texmf.cnf like
any other program in the TeX world and initialize the values from
there I ask myself.
I am slowly giving up on ConTeXt. It is changing in arbitrary directions
far too often, and still things like multi-user support are not
here since ages. I know, it is primary Hans' system and it has to
work primarily on his computer, but that means that distributing
it within any distribution system is plain pain :-(
All that of course relates only to MkIV. I guess I will just add
one sentence to the README.Debian:
MkIV is not suppored on Debian. If you know how to set it
up you can do it yourself and educate the maintainer,
otherwise simply use MkII or the ConTeXt minimals.
Sad but true.
