I concur. This would be immensely more useful than contributing huge
threads and smart-arse remarks to this mailing-list (I especially like
the irony of your -- Alan's -- complaints about wasting [your] precious
time).
Hi Arthur,
I would sooner have you hate me for telling the truth than adore me for
telling lies.

As for the invitation to the reference project, thanks a lot. I have some
work to finish
first, then will have some free time to gladly contribute.

Where did you see topheight, headerheight, footerheight, and bottomheight?
1. http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20080812.135630.04ad74e5.en.html
2. From observation: see \showsetups output (right column)
This part of ConTeXt and/or the instructional resources somehow got so
polluted

Perhaps you wanted
\setuppapersize[S6][S6]
\showframe
\showsetups
\setuplayout[topspace=15pt,
header=15pt,
height=middle,

The names and values reported by showsetups are not 1-to-1 to
the arguments of \setuplayout. If you want to know what you
can use in \setuplayout, use any of the manuals, or texshow:
That said, it is a little confusing that the table from
\showsetups doesn't match up ...
A little ???

From left to right, you have:
(left)edge
(left)edgedistance
(left)margin
(left)margindistance
width
(right)margindistance
(right)margin
(right)edgedistance
(right)edge
The location of all this on the paper is defined
Thanks Taco.
I am somewhat confused myself as to why this is generally considered to be
so confusing.
What's most confusing are the:
- wiki layout explanation at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout
- \showsetups output
- excursion manual, table 33.2 page 74
- main manual page 24

Ahaa. I'm beginning to understand.

Hi,
Meanwhile found the underneath document, which seems to be the most
corresponding

- \showsetups output
The \setuplayout parameters are in column one, the query-ing macros
are in column four. These are correct.
Good to finally know what corresponds to what. It might be useful to put
a label mentioning these at the top of both columns.
What do you

Hi Peter,
I meant the showframe and showsetups displays on the pdf document itself,
not the document paper printout.
Best,

oeps, sorry :)
you simply use some wrong parameter here (names of internal dimensions).
e.g. use 'footer=15pt' instead of 'footerheight=15pt'.
