stack marginals: text and figures

stack marginals: text and figures

[Andy Thomas]

Dear ConTeXt group,

I am trying to stack text and figures in the margin. After getting some help, I am able to setup the text just fine, the notes do not overlap. I am also able to stack figures, they also do not overlap. But figures and text does not 'know of each other'. They do overlap.

I made a small example to show the behavior:

% setup the page format
\definepapersize[wissenschaft][width=170mm,height=240mm]
% use the new page format
\setuppapersize[wissenschaft]
% shape the page 
\setuplayout[topspace=40pt,
			header=0pt,
			headerdistance=0pt,
			backspace=42pt,
			leftmargin=0pt,
			width=280pt,
			height=560pt,
			rightmargindistance=20pt,
			rightmargin=100pt,
			footer=0pt]
%\showframe
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]

\definemargindata [margintext]
    [
      location=outer,
      width=100pt,
         align=flushouter,
         stack=continue, % or yes
    ]
			
\starttext
This is a sentence.\margintext{This is a note in the margin.} Another sentence.\margintext{Another note.}
\placefigure[margin][fig:one]{This is a small figure.}{\externalfigure[test][width=100pt]}
\placefigure[margin][fig:two]{This is another small figure.}{\externalfigure[test][width=100pt]}
\stoptext

I also tried to do things such as \margintext{\placefigure...}}, but had no success. 

Is there a way to achieve a 'stacking' of all marginals?

Andy

Why not? The following works here:

This is a sentence.
\margintext{This is a note in the margin.}
Another sentence.
\margintext{Another note.}
\margintext
  {\placefigure[here][fig:one]
    {This is a small figure.}
    {\externalfigure[test][width=100pt]}}
\margintext
  {\placefigure[here][fig:two]
    {This is another small figure.}
    {\externalfigure[test][width=100pt]}}

Use \setupmargindata to change the values of a existing command. In this example it doesn’t matter but that’s not always the case.

\margintext{\placefigure[here]…} does indeed work. I cannot even reproduce why I was not able to do it, but I assume I tried \margintext{\placefigure[margin]…} which does not make much sense...

I also changed \definemargindata to \setumargindata.
