I am still struggling to achieve the page layout/look that I am trying to get. For an image of the desired page spread please look here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9089117/tufte-spread.png
How about this: \useMPlibrary [dum] \setuplayout [width=10cm, rightmargin=5cm] \setupmargindata [inouter] [location=outer, stack=continue] \definefloat [marginfigure] [marginfigures] [figure] \setupfloat [marginfigure] [default=margin] \definefloat [margintext] [margintexts] \setupfloat [margintext] [default=margin] \setupcaption [margintext] [location=none] \starttext \input knuth \startplacemarginfigure [title=Foo] \externalfigure [dum] [width=\rightmarginwidth] \stopplacemarginfigure \startplacemargintext \input ward \stopplacemargintext \input knuth \startplacemarginfigure [title=Bar] \externalfigure [dum] [width=\rightmarginwidth] \stopplacemarginfigure \stoptext You need to put the \placemargintext at the beginning of a paragraph, otherwise it will cause an unwanted break.
