Hi list,

I am having a problem setting up the layout of my document with \setuplayout, following the instructions in "ConTeXt an excursion", p 72 and 112.

Since I want margin notes I want to specify both the margins and the edges, which I  tried to do as follows:

\setuplayout[location=middle,leftedge=1cm,rightedge=1cm,leftmargin=3cm,rightmargin=2cm,width=13cm,height=23cm] 

What I get is: no left edge, left margin 2cm right on the edge of the paper, text 13 cm, right margin 2 cm, right edge 1 cm, empty space 16 mm.  

Moreover, whatever I change in the parameters, the layout stays the same.

Has the command changed?

I am using MkII as supplied with MacTeX2008, (not updated because that didn't work either).

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance.
