Hi,
While doing some more tests with my example from yesterday (tables in \startnarrow), I've realized that the example from the wiki doesn't seem to quite work as expected:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\starttext
Some text before
\startnarrow[left=2cm,right=1cm,before={\blank[2*line]},after={\blank[halfline]}]
narrower text
\stopnarrow
some text after
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Already here, the extra margins on both sides seem to be equal. Changing the size of the left extra margin has no effect at all.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\starttext
\startnarrow[left=10cm,right=2cm]
\input ward
\stopnarrow
but:
\setupnarrower[left=5cm, right=2cm]
\startnarrower[left,right]
\input ward
\stopnarrower
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Is this a bug or intended behaviour ?
Best,
Denis

It's the documentation that has the bug. With \startnarrow, you need two sets of square brackets, 1 for the \setupnarrower data and 1 for the \startnarrower data. Like this:
\starttext
Some text before
\startnarrow[left=5cm,right=1cm,before={\blank[2*line]},after={\blank[halfline]}][left, right]
narrower text
\stopnarrow
some text after
\stoptext

Thanks, good to know. I'll update the documentation.
Best,
Denis
