\inmargin{} problems with typsetting inmargin texts

\inmargin{} problems with typsetting inmargin texts

[Willi Egger]

Hi all,

I got a text, where the left i.e. the inner margin is small (.8cm) and the 
right margin is larger (1.7cm). This layout is intended for a doublesided 
print.
On different places I have to insert a \inmargin{\bf Let op!} (i.e. pay 
attention). The strange thing is, that on lefthandpages the inmargin text 
is typset in the left (outer) margin but it is typeset on two lines, 
indicating that the measures of the leftmargin of the righthandpage is 
used. - Is this a normal behaviour or otherwise how can I instruct ConTeXt 
to use the whole width of the left i.e. outer margin?

Thanks for advising

Willi

Does \showframe show symmetrical left and right margin areas?

I have a margin notes example on my help page. I define the right and
left margin areas explicitly like so:

\setuplayout[backspace=0.9375in, width=3.25in,
        rightmargindistance=.25in, rightmargin=1.125in,
        leftmargindistance=.25in, leftmargin=1.125in]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
