Re: [NTG-context] \preventmode does not work
(This is a bump, with an improved example, of my earlier note on the
subject.)
In MKIV, \preventmode does not work. It appears to do the opposite of
what is intended, and enable the specified mode. It also does not
prevent the explicit enablement of a mode (as can be seen by
uncommenting the commented line in the MWE).
I have not tested it with MKII , where it might work. (Will ConTeXt
online ever be restored?)
This goes back to TL14 and likely earlier.
Do I misunderstand what \preventmode should do, or have I misused it?
And why are there {curlies} instead of [squares] around the mode name in
\doifmode and friends?
MWE, run context MWE.tex:
\starttext
\preventmode[X]
%\enablemode[X]
\doifmode{X}{!}
\stoptext

[NTG-context] Adjusting topspace for letterhead in layer construct
mtx-context | current version: 2014.10.18 14:30
I only want about 3 to 5 mm between the physical top of the page and the
top of the letterhead (in this example, a company's and contact
information).
In \setlayer I set y=3mm
The pdf view of the output looks good, but an actual printout (and a
look at a print preview with a pdf viewer) of the generated pdf file
puts the top of the letterhead about 17 mm down from the top edge. This
is too much. I tried adjusting topspace and topdistance to 0 didn't
seem to have any affect.
I am using theh ConText standalone: mtx-context version: 2014.10.18 14:30
Here is a simple minimal exmple:

\setuppapersize[letter][letter]
\setuppagenumbering[location=footer]
\setuplayout[
backspace=31mm,
header=5mm,

[NTG-context] layer letterhead and top down distance
I am using: mtx-context | current version: 2014.10.18 14:30
I am typesetting a simple letterhead for correspondence.
The design calls for only about a 3 to 5 mm distance between the
physical top of the page and the top of the typeset letterhead.
The pdf view of the output looks good, but an actual printout (and a
look at a "print preview" with a pdf viewer) of the generated pdf file
puts the top of the letterhead about 17 mm (14mm over target size) down
from the top edge. This is too much. I tried adjusting topspace and
topdistance to 0 didn't seem to have any affect.
In \setlayer I set y=3mm
I tried adjusting topspace but it didn't do what I wanted and
topdistance was already 0.

Thank you Hans for the pointer to \goto. Unfortunately, javascript is not suitable for my purpose because the PDF will be converted to PDF/A2. I want to switch on and off OCGs but with Set-OCG-State actions. Even if this is beyond the capabilities of ConTeXt, it is nice to know that there is a javascript-based solution.

For anybody interested in this: I have decided to resort to
\hyphenatedurl{...}. This means that I have to escape \ as \\, # as \# and
% as \letterpercent. Let me know if you have a better solution.

Check your printer settings, most printers downscale the document when the distance between the text and the margins are too small.

At the moment you can disable layers when the document is printed.
