inothermargin overlaps

Hi all,

I've been using \inmargin to put some stuff in the margin of my text, but when
I use multiple \inmargin's close together, the stuff in the margin will
overlap. Is there any way to let ConTeXt just move things down to prevent
overlap?

I'm not forced to move my \inmargin's around, guessing where the line wraps
will be, which is not quite elegant and a lot of work...

Gr.

Matthijs

W00ps, forgot to include the testcase I made:

\starttext
Foo \inmargin{Blerf} Bar \inmargin {Baz}
\stoptext

Your code is ok

Try
\starttext
Foo Baz \inmargin {Blerf \\ Baz}
\stoptext

\starttext
Foo Baz \inmargin {Blerf  Baz}
\stoptext

Hmm, that might work, but my real case is slightly more complicated. I have
the \inmargin wrapped in a \refdef command, that references some topic on some
page. So I say \refdef{foo} and it looks up both the text and page number for
foo and puts that into the margin.

I could probably complicate my \refdef command into taking multiple references
at the same time. However, that will still require me to merge those commands
when they are close together, which might mean some of the rerefences are not
in their logical place anymore. For example:

  Some short paragraph referencing foo. \refdef{foo}

  And another paragraph refering bar. \refdef{bar}

This has the references in the logical places. With your suggestions, I must
change this to:

  Some short paragraph referencing foo. \refdef{foo,bar}

  And another paragraph refering bar.

Which is more error prone when I start moving around text... So, it's a
workable solution, but it's not quite ideal yet...

try to set

% \setupinmargin[left][sidemethod=2]
% \setupinmargin[left][sidemethod=3]
% \setupinmargin[left][sidemethod=4]

Hi Hans,

> % \setupinmargin[left][sidemethod=4]
I've tried each of them (with both left and right). In my minimal example,
there is no difference. In my complete document, I noticed sidemethod=3 caused
on margin text to shift a bit (not even an entire lineheight), nothing else
seems to have changed.

I've dug into the code a bit and the sidemethod does indeed change the code
paths a bit (in \dopositionmarginbox), but I've been unable to understand what
happens there exactly. Any suggestions on what the above should be doing? It
seems it selects different position schemes for margin boxes, but I can't seem
to tell what is supposed to happen exactly...
