formula-style alignment

formula-style alignment

[afsmith]

Hey again, ntg-context.

I would like to align one piece of a line to the left, and another
piece of the same line to the right, sort of like numbered math
equations, except not math.
Additionally I would like to do this inside a narrowed block


How can I do this? I have tried side-by-side-frames-inside-a-frame but
the two pieces of the line just stay clumped together. I have tried
'\startalign' and '\(left|right)aligned' to no avail. I have tried
'\hfill' but that pushes things past into/past the right margin...

\starttext

\input knuth

\startnarrower

\input knuth

\dontleavehmode\framed[width=\localhsize,align=normal]{left\hfill right}

\stopnarrower

\stoptext

Thanks Wolfgang. That works...

Now how about inside a definition or subject header?

Here is an example. \localhsize in this case seems to resolve to a
width of 0, making the contained text break as often as it can...

\defineframed[lrframe][
width=\localhsize,
align=normal,
rulethickness=1pt]

\setuplayout[header=0pt,footer=0pt]
\definedescription[topdesc][
inbetween={\blank[none]},
headstyle={\bf},
style={\tf\rm},
location=top,
width=broad]

\define[3]\CHRONDESC
{\starttopdesc
{\dontleavehmode\lrframe{#1\hfill#2}}
\startnarrower[left]{#3}\stopnarrower
\stoptopdesc}

\definehead[mysubject][subject]
\setuphead[mysubject][style={\bf}]
\define[3]\CHRONSUB
{\mysubject{\dontleavehmode\lrframe{#1\hfill#2}}
\startnarrower[left]{#3}\stopnarrower}

\showframe[text]

\starttext

\startnarrower[left]
\dontleavehmode\lrframe[width=broad]
{leftleftleft \hfill right rightrightright}
\stopnarrower \crlf

\startnarrower[left]
\dontleavehmode\lrframe[width=\localhsize]
{leftleftleftleft\hfill right rightrightright}
\stopnarrower \crlf

\CHRONDESC
  {This happened from June 08 to June 09}
  {06/08--06/09}
  {\CHRONDESC
    {This happened from June 08 to December 08}
    {06/08--12/08}
    {\input tufte }
  \CHRONDESC
    {This happened from January 09 to June 09}
    {01/09--06/09}
    {\input zapf }}
\CHRONDESC
  {This happened from June 09 to July 09}
  {06/09-07/09}
  {\input knuth }
\crlf

\CHRONSUB
  {This happened from June 08 to June 09}
  {06/08--06/09}
  {\CHRONSUB
    {This happened from June 08 to December 08}
    {06/08--12/08}
    {\input tufte }
  \CHRONSUB
