4. Notice the overprinting near the top of p.2 c.1. That is a marginal note that should go into the right margin.
Here is a minimal example (no page setup, font setup, or styles needed to show the problem)
\starttext \startcolumns
\input knuth \input tufte \column \input tufte \inmargin{This is in wrong margin} \input knuth \stopcolumns \stoptext
The marin note in 2nd column is displayed in the 1st column. This is artifact of the way in which TeX constructs columns: first creating a long and narrow page and then splitting it into two. I don't know at what stage of the OTR are margin notes inserted, and if there is a workaround. Maybe others can help.
this is the first time someone needs it so indeed there is no mechamism it's not that complex to deal with it (but i'd only do it in mkiv) gien time and motivation ... you can put a feature request in the tracker so that i can look at it when i'm reworking marging notes the mkiv way (first come floats) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
