Hi all,
Playing with right alignments this morning, I discovered that
\setupalign
[left]
ipsum in elit
Duis placerat
nec augue
puts text *on the right*, while
\setupalign
[right]
ipsum in elit
Duis placerat
nec augue
puts text *on the left*.
The \startalignment[left] and \startalignment[right] commands produce the same inversion.
(The \rightaligned command works as expected)

Hi Jean,
the bevahiour from setupalign is normal and come from the \raggeright
definition in plain TeX, it is fixed and can not be fixed beause of backward
compatibility.
The alignment commands on the other side are newer commands
and fix this old behaviour, you run in this problem also with the align keys
in the setups for many commands and environments.
Wolfgang

Thanks Hans and Wolfgang; should not this be documented in the context
manual, as it is a really strange behavior to an average user?
