Subject: Problem with \inmargin on \item lines
Date: Wed, 2 May 2012 14:33:55 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6AD49FC8-3558-4538-B5C3-21D14D3C3A3B@stien.de> (raw)

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing a problem with \inmargin{some text} in \itemized lists. I am using them a lot in my documents, and it is kind of annoying. It appears that if one uses the \inmargin macro just prior to the \item macro, the in-margin text is typeset against the previous line, not the line with the \item. Minimal example.

\starttext
\startitemize
	\item This is just a normal completely innocent paragraph against which one will be able to judge the amount of indentation of the next paragraph.
	\inmargin{Duck}\item This paragraph has a duck inmargin comment
\stopitemize
\stoptext

That seems fair enough and even makes sense on some level. If however, one reverses the two macros, like so:

  	\item\inmargin{Duck} This paragraph has a duck inmargin comment

the leading space just after the closing brace is actually printed. I take this to be a bug, or is this by design? The only way I can around this is to not use a space, like so:

  	\item\inmargin{Duck}This paragraph has a duck inmargin comment

But I don't find that to be a satisfying solution. After all I am using ConTeXt because I am a bit pedantic about text, even the source code in this case.

Regards,
Malte.
