Hello, I wonder if it is possible to setup a layout with these requirements: - it can be doublesided, that is, when doublesided the left margin (LM) and right margin (RM) are different and mirrored on right/left pages. - the headings (section, etc.) start just after the left margin. - the text body has an extra left text margin (TM) that is not mirrored. Here is an example of the expected output in doublesided mode: Left Page: LM TM RM |<--7--><-- 8--> <-5->| | 1. This is a Title | | | | This is the text body | | that has a bigger left | | margin. | Right Page: RM TM LM |<-5-><-- 8--> <--7-->| | The test continues on | | This page. | | | | 2. Another Title | | | For singlesided documents I can play with a setup like this (the margindistances should be taken into account too): \setuphead[section][margin=-TM] \setuplayout[leftmargin=TM+LM, rightmargin=RM, backspace=TM+LM, width=\paperwidth-(RM+TM+LM)] For doublesided documents I thought about using textwidth or textmargin, but in this case the text margin is applied on left and right (the text is in the middle). Should I play with other setup parameters? What is the best way to achieve this? Thanks for any hint, Regards, BG

Hello,
I wonder if it is possible to setup a layout with these requirements:
- it can be doublesided, that is, when doublesided the left margin (LM) and right margin (RM) are different and mirrored on right/left pages.
- the headings (section, etc.) start just after the left margin.
- the text body has an extra left text margin (TM) that is not mirrored.
Here is an example of the expected output in doublesided mode:
Left Page: LM TM RM |<--7--><-- 8--> <-5->| | 1. This is a Title | | | | This is the text body | | that has a bigger left | | margin. |
Right Page:
RM TM LM |<-5-><-- 8--> <--7-->| | The test continues on | | This page. | | | | 2. Another Title | | |
Well, I start from the beginning with odd/even layout setting, and the following does not work. The behaviour I see is that only the odd setting is used. What is wrong in there? \definelayout[odd] [width=middle, backspace=7cm, cutspace=5cm] \definelayout[even] [backspace=8cm, cutspace=2cm, width=middle] \setuplayout %\showlayout \starttext \dorecurse{4}{ \section{Hello} \input knuth \endgraf \subsection{Sub Hello} \input tufte \endgraf} \stoptext Regards, BG
Hi, To me it should not be necessary to define odd and even layouts for your purposes. (Of course I stand corrected!) If you choose \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] the page layout is swapped automatically. For the realisation of the titles sticking into the "margin" one should be able to use \setuphead[section,subsection][command=...] This would look then like this: \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuplayout [backspace=2cm, leftmargin=5cm, rightmargin=7cm] \setupnarrower[left=3cm] \setuphead[section,subsection][after={\startnarrower[left]}] \showframe \starttext \section{Hello} \setuphead[section][before=\stopnarrower] \input knuth \par \subsection{Sub Hello} \setuphead[subsection][before=\stopnarrower] \input tufte \par \dorecurse{4}{ \section{Hello} \input knuth \endgraf \subsection{Sub Hello} \input tufte \endgraf} \stoptext I admit, this is not yet working correctly, but I can't find the key at the moment ;-) Willi nico wrote:

For singlesided documents I can play with a setup like this (the margindistances should be taken into account too):
\setuphead[section][margin=-TM] \setuplayout[leftmargin=TM+LM, rightmargin=RM, backspace=TM+LM, width=\paperwidth-(RM+TM+LM)]
For doublesided documents I thought about using textwidth or textmargin, but in this case the text margin is applied on left and right (the text is in the middle).
Should I play with other setup parameters? What is the best way to achieve this?
Thanks for any hint,

in the case that one has a strangely assymetric layout (no mirroring) one can do \setuplayout[odd] [....] \setuplayout[even][....] ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

But it doesn't work. In the following case it is simply ignored (default setting used). I've this behaviour with live context too. What's wrong? \setuplayout[odd] [width=middle, backspace=7cm, cutspace=5cm] \setuplayout[even] [backspace=8cm, cutspace=4cm, width=middle] \starttext \dorecurse{4}{ \section{Hello} \input knuth \endgraf \subsection{Sub Hello} \input tufte \endgraf} \stoptext Regards, BG
