Different margins

Different margins

[Nagy Bence]

Hi all,

is it possible to give a different layout (different margins) for a
small part of a page or pages (like a negative narrower)? I should set
texts in narrow columns and pictures in wide columns on the same page.

Greetings,

Bence Nagy

www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf  -> details.pdf

shows a couple of methods (like using edges and margins)

 I can not answer you directly your question. I would only lik e to suggest
that you have a look at the new
details.pdf manual. May be that you can distill from this a solution for
your problem. I feel that a possible solution is the use of layers...

Best wishes Willi

Try this, perhaps it does what you want:

\showframe
\starttext
\input tufte
\page
\setuplayout[backspace=5cm,leftmargin=4cm,width=7cm]
\input tufte
\page
\setuplayout[backspace=1cm,leftmargin=.5cm]
\input tufte
\stoptext
