Can \doifoddpageelse alter topspace?

Can \doifoddpageelse alter topspace?

[Rudolf Bahr]

Hello Contexters,

is it possible to alter topspace somehow according to \doifoddpageelse?
Or have I to use vertical page lists?

I'd need this for composing a doublesided book in landscape mode with binding 
at the upper edge.

Kind regards,

Rudolf

You can define different layouts for left/right pages with
the “even” and “odd” keywords for the \definelayout command.

\definelayout
  [even]
  [backspace=5cm,
   width=10cm]

\definelayout
  [odd]
  [backspace=10cm,
   width=5cm]

\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\page}
\stoptext

Oh, it's simpler than I thought! With "topspace" instead of "backspace"
it fullfills perfectly my needs. I thank you, Wolfgang!
