inmargin text problems remain

Dear gang,

Thanks Bill for your reply on my previous mail concerning struggles with 
the inmargin texts. As you can see I explicitely set the width of the margins.

In order to make things easier to see I attach a minimal test file.

Does anybody see the clue, how to tell Context to use the full marginwidth?

Cheers Willi

The problem is that notes in the left page outer margin do not use the
full margin width, right? If you change your setup to
use leftmargin=18mm it will match the outer margin on the right pages,
which is already set to 18mm.

If this case, rightmargin and leftmargin seem to refer to the outer
margins on the right and left pages, not the outer and gutter margins on
a single page.

Thanks for your response. It works indeed once I put the leftmargin to 
18mm. - I was apparaently too much fixed to the nice presentation of the 
"showframes" and did not think of the fact that it would not matter because 
normally Context would not typeset inmargin texts in the inner margin. - 
Thanks indeed.


Cheers Willi

I strongly believe that this is a bug. left/right should change to
inner/outer on doublesided layout. But it does not (really):

\showframe
\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided]
\setuplayout[backspace=1cm,leftmargin=.5cm]
\starttext
\dorecurse{4}{\input tufte \inleft{\the\hsize}\inright{\the\hsize} \page}
\showsetups
\stoptext

I have no idea what is going on.
