Try this one:

Probably Hans comes up with some magic, but this might work as well.

there is the magical command \margintext I leave it to patrick to explore the following: \starttext \margintext{patrick} \margintext{who's that} \input tufte \margintext{patrick} \stackposdown \margintext{who's that} \input tufte \setupinmargin[2][line=2] \margintext{patrick} \margintext{who's that} \input tufte \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Hans,

I leave it to patrick to explore the following:

\starttext

\margintext{patrick} \margintext{that's me}

Well, I was playing with this before (while looking for the answer for Mathias), but I did not get any margintext. Now I know that it works only when there is some text associated with it.

I didn't get any margin macro to work in \MyHead (tried \inleft,..). But I didn't feel like looking for the reason (yet).

you're lucky: a few days ago i added a key: margintext=yes to the setuphead command that will enable flushing of margin texts Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

And how shoud it be used?

\setuphead[...][margintext=yes,command=MyHead]

\def\MyHead#1#2{\margintext{#1,#2}} is not the way to go, is it?

no, it's just flushing previous ones; maybe the next solution will prevent a sleepless night: \starttext \setuphead [subsubsection] [alternative=text,distance=0pt,command=\MyHead] \def\MyHead#1#2{\inleftmargin{#1 #2}} \subsubsection{patrick} \input tufte \stoptext normally text will put the head in from of the text, so here we let the command lap it to the left; of course we need to nil the distance; so, actually it fits will into the normal configuration. so, if you cook up a nice keyword for this alternative, i will show you how easy it is added as alternative -) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

\setuphead [subsubsection] [alternative=text,distance=0pt,command=\MyHead]

\def\MyHead#1#2{\inleftmargin{#1 #2}}

shouldn't the distance go between the number and the #2? In the \inleftmargin case it goes bewteen left margin and #2. In the normal case, it is between the text and number. Patrick ... slightly confused
