Where’s the float type "sidebar" defined? AFAIK it’s not a default type. And it might interfere with the actual sidebar stuff from https://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/mkxl/anch-bar.mkxl, see also https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupsidebar Hraban Am 28.04.24 um 19:54 schrieb urban.m@ca.rr.com:
I swear I used to understand this stuff. I plead old age. Why do I get two different results from the float placements here:
\definefloat[mysidebar][mysidebars] \setupfloat[mysidebar][leftmargindistance=-.25in,rightmargindistance=-.25in,outer,none]
\defineframedtext [sidebartext] [width=.4\textwidth,bodyfont=small,corner=round,background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray,align=flushleft]
\starttext This is a bit of text \placefloat[sidebar][leftmargindistance=-.25in,rightmargindistance=-.25in,outer,none]{}{ \startsidebartext This is a short sidebar \stopsidebartext } And something to follow.
A bit of text \placemysidebar{}{ \startsidebartext This is a short sidebar \stopsidebartext } And something to follow.
\stoptext
