I had a similar problem - thank you, Wolfgang! But I need my marginals as one line, rotated in the inner margin and aligned to the top or bottom of the text area. I don’t know how to achieve the latter. \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \setupmargindata[inmargin][style={\ss\tfx},location=inner,align=outer] \setupmarginframed[inmargin][align=outer,location=inner] \def\Info#1{\margindata[inmargin]{\rotate{#1}}} \starttext \chapter{Tufte} \Info{This is a text by Tufte 1} \input tufte \Info{This is a text by Tufte 2} \chapter{Knuth} \Info{This is a text by Knuth 1} \input knuth \Info{This is a text by Knuth 2} \input knuth \stoptext Greetlings from Lake Constance!
