Thanks Taco.
I am somewhat confused myself as to why this is generally considered to be so confusing.
What's most confusing are the:
Ok, that helped make me understand.
- wiki layout explanation at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout
This is indeed confusing (and probably based on excursion)
- \showsetups output
The \setuplayout parameters are in column one, the query-ing macros are in column four. These are correct.
- excursion manual, table 33.2 page 74
That table is simply wrong, and probably the cause of all of the confusion (I never used excursion myself). I assume the goal of this table is that column 1 matches \setuplayout's column 1 output; it doesn't.
- main manual page 24 - \setuplayout texshow page
These two are correct (plus/minus a few small diffs due to later extensions). Conclusion: both excursion and the wiki need updating. Best wishes, Taco
