Dear all, I'm having a little trouble with grids and page layout…
I'm trying to align the first and last line of a page properly with the frame of the textblock. That is, I'd like to position the first baseline a certain distance below the textblock's upper border (say, the height of a "C" or even "É") and the last baseline a certain distance above the textblock's lower border (say, the actual depth of a "g"). How would I do that? I tried playing with "\setupinterlinespace", however, its options "top" and "bottom" appear to set relative distances. Once I change the leading funny things happen… like an empty first line. Also I'd like to typeset the page number flush with the lower border of the footer frame. How would I achieve that? Please find the source code of my attempt below.
