Is this supposed to work?? I'm using ver: 2003.1.31 and try to do the following, right out of the handbook: \setupheads[alternative=inmargin] \subject{Some Text} and expected the subject to start in the margin. It does not, and I found out that this seems to work only for numbered heads like section et al. How do I put a subject in the margin, possibly while using a command to make it white on black (I can do that, only it's not in the margin....)
