[NTG-context] Layout with equal margins.

[Pawel Urbanski via ntg-context <ntg-context@ntg.nl>]

Dear Friends,

I played wih hte setup and read the posts on the list. Apparently the 
mechanism for setting different margins can be confusing at times. At 
least, it is for a beginner.


I want to create 2 versions of my book:

Version 1: Goes to printing with different inner and outer margins due 
to binding and so on,

Version 2: Can be downloaded and the left and right margins are equal size.


I want ot keep the 6x9 size of a page, which is: 432x648pt. The sum of 
margins in both cases is 120pt. It leaves 312pt for the text content.


When I do hte following:

\setuplayout[

     alternative=doublesided, width=fit, height=fit,

     leftmargin=60pt, leftmargin=60pt, ...]

The makeup width and text width is calculated as 472pt and the margin 
appears to be set just on one side.

I set both cutspace and backspace to 0pt. I assumed that either value is 
a particular area of the page.


Has any one of you handled such a case? I'll be very glad to get some 
directions.

I can create a simple document with modes or documents to illustrate my 
case if needed...


Thank you,

Pawel
