replace <cmd>tags with {{cmd| template.
The names in the column and row headers are the keywords for <{{cmd>|setuplayout</cmd>}}, the words inside of the table are given to clarify ConTeXT terminology. There are also keywords suffixed by "distance" to set the distance
between each of the areas, e.g. <tt>leftedgedistance</tt>, <tt>leftmargindistance</tt> (from the named area to the inner).

for standard US Letter-sized paper (8.5" × 11.0")
If you need a special paper size, have a look at our list of [[PaperSizes|paper sizes]] (ConTeXt's, standardized and traditional), and use <{{cmd>|definepapersize</cmd> }} if it's not already defined.
You can make all the geometry information visible with <{{cmd>|showlayout</cmd> }} and the [[Visual Debugging|related commands]].
See <{{cmd>|setuplayout</cmd> }} and <{{cmd>|setuppapersize</cmd> }} in the manual.
