What is "cutspace" and "bottomspace"?

Dear List, according to https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuplayout , "cutspace" and "bottomspace" are the counterparts of "backspace" and "topspace", and "If cutspace is set to 0, it is taken to be equal to the backspace". But in fact, the following document stays the same no matter what value is given to cutspace. \setuplayout[cutspace=0.01cm] \starttext x \showframe \stoptext Has anyone actually used these two parameters? Best, Sylvain

Hi Sylvain, \setuplayout[width=fit, cutspace=0.01cm] does the trick. Just in case it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hi Sylvain,

Use "width=middle". Wolfgang

Use "width=middle".
Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang. I found something weird here. Compare the four options: %~ \setuplayout[width=middle, backspace=0.001mm] %~ \setuplayout[width=fit, backspace=0.001mm] %~ \setuplayout[width=middle, cutspace=0.001mm] %~ \setuplayout[width=fit, cutspace=0.001mm] \starttext \showframe \showsetups \stoptext Each of the options gives a different result. I thought the same might happen with topspace and bottomSpace. I’m afraid this is also different: %~ \setuplayout[height=middle, topspace=0.001mm] %~ \setuplayout[height=fit, topspace=0.001mm] %~ \setuplayout[height=middle, bottomspace=0.001mm] %~ \setuplayout[height=fit, bottomspace=0.001mm] \starttext \showframe \showsetups \stoptext I wonder whether there might be a bug here.
