Chapter/section text inmargin

Chapter/section text inmargin

[Jason Knight]

I'm attempting to do some formatting similar to Bringhurst's Elements of
 Typographic Style and am getting a bit stymied, where section titles
are in the margin right next to the text.

Here's what I've got so far in ConTeXt (and it gets me close):

\setupheads[sectionnumber=no]
\setuphead[chapter][textcommand=\inmargin,style=\tfa,before=\nowhitespace,after=\nowhitespace]
\setuphead[section][textcommand=\inmargin,style=\tfa,before=\nowhitespace,after=\nowhitespace]
\setuphead[subsection][textcommand=\inmargin,style=\scx,before=\nowhitespace,after=\nowhitespace]

This places the chapter/section/subsection titles in the margin alright,
but it is still above the text it refers to. How do I get it alongside?

Thanks for your help!

The head is always at least one line high, even if it is in the margin. 
Something as simple as this may be sufficient for you needs:

   \setuphead
     [section]
     [textcommand=\inmargin,
      style=\tfa,
      before=\nowhitespace,
      after={\kern -12pt}]

Good luck, Taco
