"Outer," of course, is the right margin on a right-hand (odd) page and the left margin on a left-hand (even) page. Change the layout with \setuplayout and enable doublesided with \setuppagenumbering. > 2) How does one put a frame around a margin? Layers? Overlay? \framedtext? You can use \setupbackgrounds. > 3) Am I correct I can use the "COMMAND" parameters in \setuplayout to specify there is some text to use as a marginal in the (chapter | section) header (using \margintext, I presume)? Can you be more concrete. > I am working on a couple of novels I want to typeset using ConTeXt since I think it will allow me to produce what I want for typographic style much easier than using LaTeX. I'm pretty adept at using LaTeX but brand new to ConTeXt. One of _my_ problems is so many examples on the wiki seem oriented towards people setting math which could not be farther from my intended usages. (Not that I'm unfamiliar with math, I have a degree in Physics and would have had a double degree in math except for a choice to take a different course (helpful in physics) instead of one mandatory for the math degree). Many people use ConTeXt for documents without any math and when you read older messages in the list archive you can find messages from user asking whether ConTeXt can be used to typeset math. \setuplayout [backspace=0.1\paperwidth, width=0.7\paperwidth, footer=0pt, topspace=0.1\paperheight, height=0.7\paperheight] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupbackgrounds[text][rightmargin][frame=on] \starttext %\showframe \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par} \stoptext Wolfgang ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
