Dear gang,

consider the following:

\setuppapersize[A6][A6]

\setuplayout 
  [width=middle,
   height=middle,
   backspace=3cm,
   margin=1.5cm,
   location=doublesided]

\starttext

This nation, \inouter{1}turning 100 years old, had no {\em Odyssey}, no
St.~George slaying the dragon, no Prometheus. The emerging American genius for
making a lot of money was a poor substitute for King Arthur and his knights
(although the Horatio Alger myth of rags to riches was good for a lot of
mileage). Without a mythology and set of ancient heroes to call its own,
America had to manufacture its heroes. So the mythmaking machinery of
nineteenth|-|century American media created a suitable heroic archetype in the
cowboys of the Wild West. The image was of the undaunted cattle drivers living
a life of reckless individualism, braving the elements, staving off brutal
Indian \inouter{2}attacks. Or of heroic lawmen dueling with six|-|guns in the
streets at high noon. This artificial Wild West became America's Iliad.

This nation, turning 100 years old, had no {\em Odyssey}, no St.~George
\inouter{3}slaying the dragon, no Prometheus. The emerging American genius for
making a lot of money was a poor substitute for King Arthur and his knights
(although the Horatio Alger myth of rags to riches was good for a lot of
mileage). Without a mythology and set of ancient heroes to call its own,
America had to manufacture its heroes. 

\stoptext

The \inouter{2} is typeset in the INNER margin, both in mkiv and mkii. I assume that's because the paragraph it's in starts on an odd page. Is there any setup command to change this behavior? Or is this the expected behavior? I looked into page-mar.mkiv, but couldn't find anything...

All best

Thomas

\setuplayout
   [width=middle,
    height=middle,
    backspace=3cm,
    margin=1.5cm]

\setuppagenumbering
   [alternative=doublesided]

inner/outer tracking only kicks in when in doublesided mode

DUH! (to quote a well-known cartoon character). Of course! I thought my location=doublesided in \setuplayout did this, but I was wrong! Thanks a lot!

OK, another question, hopefully less stupid:

\defineinmargin [MyOuter] [outer] [normal] [distance=1cm]

\starttext
test \MyOuter{1}test
\stoptext

gives 

! You can't use `\dimexpr' in restricted horizontal mode.

but the definition is taken from page-mar.mkiv
