I'm trying to write a module that will mimick the behavior of
crop.sty in LaTeX (providing fancier cropmarks than the ones given by
the ConTeXt \setuplayout command). I'm done with the code for the
cropmarks, and this is working fine. Now I want to have a status line
in between the two top
Thanks for your suggestion, but I didn't get it to work. In the end,
I had recourse to some low-level stuff (caution, ugly code ahead!):
\defineoverlay[info][{\getbuffer[info]}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background={info}]
\startbuffer[info]
\vbox to \paperheight \bgroup
\vskip -1 cm
Wonderful, this looks much better and is exactly what I wanted!
[y=-20mm, if I want something on top of the logical paper] Thanks a lot!

I thought I had understood at least some aspects of macros, but it
turns out I'm as lost as always. Here's my problem:
I'm writing a module which will have a \setupcommand. The value is
given in a [key=pair] list, so I thought I could use \getvariable.
What I have is
Sorry, I was trying to be general instead of specific and was
unclear. Here's what I want:

\setupcrop[mark=camera,info=yes] % or \setupcrop[mark=cross,info=no]
or any combination
My idea was to have nested \doifelse statements in the module itself

Peter, thanks for your help yet again!

OK, so I'm not completely off the mark...
The only thing that is missing, is a call (at the end
of \setupcrop) to a separate routine (based on your \doifelse
construct), which sets up
Yes, I'm usually prone to making this kind of mistakes. But if I put
exactly the same \doifelse in my TeX file (instead of in the module),
the correct value is returned. I also thought there was no trickery
involved, but it looks like the key is assigned its value only after
the module has

Peter, I appreciate your helping me. And I have no clue what's going
wrong.

Hmm, is it a problem of setting the variable, or it's interpretation?
Can you find out, if the variable is set
You'll need to do 2 things:
in your texmf.cnf, you have to set shellescape to t (don't ask me
where that is located on a windows system, I have no idea).
In cont-sys.tex, uncomment these two lines:
\runMPgraphicstrue
\runMPTEXgraphicstrue
Good luck

This may be a bug, or I may be missing something... I have defined a
typescript for my Adobe Garamond, and I want Courier as the monotype
font accompanying it. Since Courier is a bit too big compared to
Garamond, I want to scale it down, so I have this line in my
typescript (yes, I have
Please disregard this question; I was being stupid. The proper way to
do the scaling is
\definetypeface [MyAGaramond] [tt] [mono] [agaramondsemi] [default]
[rscale=0.9,encoding=texnansi]
Sorry for the noise.

In theory, you can say
\startregister[index]{great+topic} and \stopregister[index]{great+topic}
and this will do what you want. However, this is one of several bugs
in the index module of ConTeXt: this will print just this range and
gobble all other entries in the index for great/topic. I
