I would like to elevate a little bit the position of the page number in the footer area of the MWE below in ConTeXt:

MWE

setuppapersize [A4]



setuplayout

  [header=0pt,

    margin=0pt,

    footerdistance=0cm,

    topspace=1cm,

    backspace=1cm,

    width=fit,

    height=dimexprpaperheight-topspace+footerheight+footerdistance-2.3cmrelax]



showframe

showlayout

showsetups





setuppagenumbering [location={footer,middle}]

setupfootertexts[{Page pagenumber{} of totalnumberofpages}]





starttext

This is just a minimal working example to show the location of the page numbers in the footnote area.

In latex, I used to achieve similar to this using the command raisebox{0.6baselineskip}{SomeTextToAdjust}. So what is the parallel approach in ConTeXt to raise the page number in footer area?

I think they are more straightforward ways to answer you question, but a wiki check suggested me this answer

setuppapersize [A4]



setuplayout

  [header=0pt,

   margin=0pt,

   footerdistance=0cm,

   topspace=1cm,

   backspace=1cm,

   width=fit,

   height=dimexprpaperheight-topspace+footerheight+footerdistance-2.3cmrelax]



startsetups[headertext]

  startframed[frame=off,height=5ex,align={middle,lohi},width=fit]

    Page pagenumber{} of totalnumberofpages

  stopframed

stopsetups



setupfootertexts[directsetup{headertext}]

showframe

showlayout

showsetups





%setuppagenumbering [location={footer,middle}]

%setupfootertexts[{Page pagenumber{} of totalnumberofpages}]

As you can see, playing with the frame height gives you some spare space, since we center the content inside the frame. Of course with a side-effect that you have also spare space above this text…

You could just raise the whole footer area instead.

setuppapersize [A4]



setuplayout

  [%horizontal

    margin=0pt,

    backspace=1cm,

    width=fit,

    %vertical

    topspace=1cm,

    header=0pt,

    height=fit,

    footerdistance=0cm,

    bottomspace=1cm]



showframe

showlayout

showsetups





setuppagenumbering [location={footer,middle}]

setupfootertexts[{Page pagenumber{} of totalnumberofpages}]

The best solution when the footer text is too low and all pages is to change the page layout to mode the footer area upwards which can be done by decreasing the height of the text block.

When you don’t want to change the layout you can put the content of the footer in a frame and change the offset value for the bottom. To ensure the frame fills the whole footer area you have disable the strut setting with setupfooter.

setuplayout

  [backspace=1cm,

   width=middle,

   header=0pt,

   topspace=1cm,

   bottomspace=0.5cm,

   height=middle]



showframe [text,footer] [text]



setuppagenumbering

  [location=none]



setupfooter

  [strut=no]



% setupfootertexts

%   [{framed

%       [frame=off,width=max,height=max,align={middle,low},offset=0pt,boffset=5mm]

%       {Page realpagenumber of lastrealpagenumber}}]



setupfootertexts

  [{framed

      [frame=off,width=max,height=max,align={middle,low},offset=0pt,boffset=5mm]

      {Page realpagenumber of lastrealpagenumber}}]
