pagenumbers in margin

pagenumbers in margin

[GEERT]

Hello,

After a long period of "Context inactivity", I am again into document 
preparation.

I want to put the pagenumbers in a doublesided document in the outer 
margin.  So far no problem at all...  but I want the number to be 
placed in a 3cm wide grey box, wich I do with an inframed command 
within the pagenumbering setup.  

This also works more or less, but (see if I can explain this in plain 
english without using figures !!.....) :

The grey box with the pagenumber aligns its inner border with the inner 
border of the outer margin.  

What I want is the grey box to align its outer border with the outer 
border of the outer margin.....

Any suggestion ?

Geert Dobbels.

You should post a complete but minimal example that shows what you do
and then a few words what is wrong with it. That way we can imagine
better what your expected outcome is.

can you make a minimal file that we can adapt for you?

often it is possible to set alignments to

    align=inner

or

    align=outer

and such

Hello,

As I told before, I want the grey box as defined in the page numbering 
(see below) to appear with its outer border aligned to the outer border 
of the outer margin.  Right now, it aligns with its inner border to the 
inner border of the outer margin.  I tried with uitlijnen=buiten but 
without success.

Here is a minimal file, as asked for : 


\def\mijnpaginanummer#1%
	{\startkleur[wit]
	\inlijnd 
kader=uit,achtergrond=kleur,achtergrondkleur=middelgrijs,breedte=2.5cm,h
oogte=1.1cm]%
	{#1}
	\stopkleur}
\stelnummeringin	[variant=dubbelzijdig,plaats={onder,inmarge},%
			commando={\mijnpaginanummer}]
\stellayoutin		[breedte=19cm,
			hoogte=14.9cm,
			kopwit=0cm,
			rugwit=1cm,
			hoofd=2.5cm,
			linkermarge=1.2cm,
			rechtermarge=1.2cm,
			linkermargeafstand=0cm,
			rechtermargeafstand=0cm]
.......

Hello Geert,

your testfile just stops. No pdf output to have a look at!?!? Please
make sure that your testfile is complete (but minimal) so we can try
it out, without guessing.

I am definitely doing too little ConTeXting at the moment.

Ok, I see.

so you have

 (margin)
     |   | text
     |   | text
     |   | text
     |   |
 -----------
 |    1    |
 ___________

and you want

 |   | text
 |   | text
 |   | text
 |   |
 -----------
 |    1    |
 ___________


I wonder if there is a \setuppagenumbering{location=inedge}, because
then you could use \llap{\omlijnd...} and \rlap{\omlijnd} for odd and
even pages respectively.
