Re: annotated text: main text in narrower text, annotations on the right

Thank you, Wolfgang and Jean-Pierre!

I've modified your example and now it resembles what I was looking for.
Now I can use \inright to get annotations on the right of the main
text,
but inside the width of the normal text.

The annotations are aligned to the line they occur in the main text.

It's somewhat tricky, because I need to leave the second paragraph
empty.
Is there a way to obtain that effect without setupparagraphs?

Anyway it works as I wanted, so now I have a solution.
Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Massi
