Totally weird. I just realized that the percentage sign makes a difference in whether it compiles or not (as soon as I remove the percentage sign it starts working). I added the percentage sign since that was the only way to prevent unwanted vertical space. (I'm not sure what adds it.) \definelayer[paper][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \startbuffer[abstract]% <- this '%' is problematic \startsimplecolumns \input tufte \input tufte \stopsimplecolumns \stopbuffer \setlayerframed[paper] [voffset=1cm] [width=0.9\paperwidth] {\getbuffer[abstract]} \starttext abc \stoptext Mojca ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
