Dear list,

I have the following enumeration block.

\defineenumeration[verse] \setupenumeration[verse] [alternative=leftmargin, text=, width=fit, distance=1em, way=bysection]

I actually want to (flush) left align the enumeration's number inside the left margin and give it a blue color. But even if I have \setupmargindata[inleftmargin][color=bblue4,align=flushleft] there is no alignment, no color.

However, if I do \setupenumeration[verse] [alternative=leftmargin, text=, width=\leftmarginwidth, headcolor=bblue4, distance=0em, way=bysection] I am able to get the desired effect.

Is this the 'correct' way to do it? I mean to ask, am I doing something wrong with \setupmargindata or is this expected behaviour.

Thanks, kauśika Also \setupenumeration[verse] [alternative=left, text=, headcommand=\inleftmargin, distance=0em, way=bysection] along with \setupmargindata[inleftmargin][color=bblue4,align=flushleft] achieves the required effect.

So then am I using alternative=leftmargin incorrectly?
