New subject: Layout and textwidth/textmargin

27 Aug 2006

      ...
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
Hallo!

This doesn't work here, too!

The wiki said it should work. So, maybe there ist something broken in 
the meantime.

In 'page-lay.tex' I found something with

\setuplayout[odd][state=stop]
\setuplayout[even][state=stop]

so

a.) Not alone \definelayout but also \setuplayout should work with 
odd|even.
b.) Because there is something to stop here, there may be some need 
to start it?

Btw. \definelayout[1][] doesn't work too.
