Hello!
I've just started using ConTeXt (some previous experience with LaTeX, but not
much) and have a question.
Every year my students union produce a book containing information about the
union and a collection of addresses of the members. Previously this book has
been made by hand in Adobe Indesign. Now I have written a PHP-script that
outputs a ConTeXt-file that I then convert to pdf. However, previously we have
used a layout where information has been put in the outer and inner columns
depending on if it's a lefthand- or righthand page.
It looks like this:
---------------------------------------------
| info1 | text1 || text3 | info3 |
| | || | |
| | || | |
| | || | |
| | || | |
| info2 | text2 || text4 | info4 |
| | || | |
| | || | |
| | || | |
| 1 | || | 2 |
----------------------------------------------
In 'info' we put information about 'text'. This 'info' needs the same width as
the text and also some formatting.
I have tried solving this by using \inmargin and \startmarginblock, but nothing
gives a good result.
Does anyone have any idea if this is possible to solve? (If you want I can send
you a pdf showing how it lokks like in inDesign).
