Just tried the following snippet on the live.contextgarden.net with
no joy:
The layer content appears on a single line, whether I use \par, \\,
\endgraf, \crlf or no line ending at all.
To help you I will explain why your setup did not work.
TeX use boxes to place text, two different types are available
and they are horizontal (\hbox) and vertical (\vbox) boxes.
Text in a horizontal box is placed in a single line and \par \vskip ...
is ignored, if your text is too long it runs over the right margin, only
text in a vertical box is placed in multiple lines.
The pure \setlayer command use a horizontal box for the content
and did therefore not work for you, \setlayerframed is (simplified)
a combination of \setlayer and \frame, the definition looks like
\setlayer[name][setup]{\framed{text}}.
The \framed command itself can act as horizontal or vertical box
dependent on the setup, by default it acts like a horizontal box,
to let it act as vertical box two setup need to be done
(1) the alignment (format) of the text needs to be set with
'align=left|normal|...' and (2) it needs either a width or
a height with is done with 'width=...' or 'height=...' or
'lines=...'.
Your layer command should now look like:
\setlayerframed
[TicketSummary]
[hoffset=.5\backspace,
voffset=2.5in,
width=3cm,
align=right]
