Changes

The <tt>scrartcl</tt> class from the KOMA package does some fairly sophisticated calculations to determine an appropriate page layout. A sample document (with a framebox to show the text area) is simply:

\documentclass[DIVcalc,twoside]{scrartcl}

\begin{document}

\noindent\framebox{\rule{0pt}{\textheight}\rule{\textwidth}{0pt}}

\end{document}

ConTeXt:

The following code duplicates the <tt>scrartcl</tt> calculations to set the text area and produces a similar sample document, again with a framed box to show the text area.

\def\BCOR{3mm}% eventual bounding correction

\newdimen\PageWidth \PageWidth=\paperwidth

\framed[width=\textwidth,height=\textheight]{}

\stoptext

In the beta version of ConTeXt, there is probably a better way to achieve the

same...
