Thank you very much for your fast reply, Wolfgang. That is what I looked
for. However, a new problem appeared now. The example file

\setuppapersize[A5][A5]

\setuplayout[
footer=0cm,
header=0.6cm,
headerdistance=0.2cm,
footerdistance=0cm,
topspace=1cm,
backspace=4cm,
leftmargin=3cm,
rightmargin=0cm,
leftmargindistance=0.5cm,
height=fit,
width=fit,
]

\setupmarginblocks[location=left]


\starttext
\showlayout

\placefigure[margin][none]{With the key
margin}{\externalfigure[cow][width=3cm]}
\input tufte

\stoptext

does not work as intended for me. The layout looks OK if I read the
\showlayout output correctly, but the cow is not put entirely in the
margin, but sticks out outside the page. I attach the output of the code
above.

Best regards, Mikael
