Great. This works. Now for something different. While learning ConTeXt, 
I find that often the syntax escapes me. Take for instance:

> \definecolumnset[example][n=2]
>
> \define[1]\MargText{%
>     \ifodd\mofcolumns{%
>       \inleft{#1}}
>     \else
>       {\inright{#1}}\fi}
>
> \starttext
> \startcolumnset[example]
>
> \MargText{Here left of column}
>
> \input tufte
>
> \column[local]

What does [local] mean here? According the the manual one should say 
\column and I can't find the explanation of what local means or what 
you are doing here.

> \input tufte

> \MargText{\ifodd\mofcolumns{Hello!, still left of column}\else {Hello, 
> now
> right of column}\fi}
