I experience the following behaviour of framedtext in relation to inright and inleft. With \startframedtext[offset=value] the positioning of left and right margin inserts shifts with the size of 'value'.

The next example shows the shift to the right of L2 and R2 (both mkii and mkiv). Change the offset to see the margin notes L2/R2 shift. \starttext \showframe[text,margin,edge] ABC \inright{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm]{R1}} \inleft{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm]{L1}} \startframedtext[offset=2cm] XYZ \inright{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm]{R2}} \inleft{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm]{L2}} \stopframedtext \stoptext

Pictured: ...L1.|...................|.R1 ......|.L2................|.....R2 ......|...................| ......^...................^ ^ = frame lines of showpage

I wonder if this is correct behaviour. The margins are imho fixed areas, defined as the areas on the left/right of the textframe. One would expect the margin texts put just there, not influenced by something that happens to be placed in the text. Or am I amiss?

indeed ... inleft and inright use vadjust and that is somewhat special i will come up with an alternative in mkiv maybe \margintitle{...} works ok (delays till a paragraph) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
