Thanks for your reply.
When you say "redefining internal commands", is that referring to
statements like
\let\pagecutmarktoptext \TopText
?
AFAICT this is the recommended solution, both on the current wiki
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Imposition#Cut_marks) and by Hans
(http://context.markmail.org/thread/kpayudrtabsti76i) albeit several years ago;
the current ref man (section 3.4 Page design / page composition) also lists
marking=TEXT as an option for \setuplayout. If this is correct, how is one
supposed to specify the text to display?
Am I misunderstanding the documentation, or is it just obsolete?
If we need to implement this using layers, does anyone have a recent
example of using a layer to place a running footer outside the crop marks?
Thanks,
Lars
