The macro \setupinmargin doesn't seem to exist, although its is described in the Wiki:

Hans rewrote the margintext code and there are now \setupmargindata and \setupmarginframe. A newer beta (not yet released) has \setupinmargin as synonym for \setupmargindata but it’s better to use now the new command.

I replaced the \setupinmargin \by setupmargindata and tested on the example in the Wiki given for \setupinmargin: \starttext \setupmargindata[location=left] \starttext This is an example of a simple margin note set in the slanted font of the document. If used correctly, the note \inmargin{Here is a simple margin note.} should print on the side with the command \type {\inmargin} placed in the text. You will of course want to adjust your margins to accommodate the type. \stoptext Then the margintext is always on the left. No matter if I give [location=right] or [location=flushright] or substitute left for right. What am I missing here? Hans van der Meer

Step by step I am making progress. Now I have the problem that the margin note is generated from inside a framedtext. As a matter of fact, all elements of the text I am producing are a series of framedtext's with nothing in between. The problem then is, that the margin notes are withheld until something is typeset after a \stopframedtext. And that then coalesces all notes accumulated sofar. My question therefore: can I force placing the note from within a \startframedtext-\stopframedtext pair? Hans van der Meer On 15 mrt 2011, at 13:33, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

\setupmargindata[inmargin][location=...]

Well, I guess there is not a solution readily at hand. Awaiting that, I will pursue for the moment an alternative route to "pseudo margin notes". Hans van der Meer On 15 mrt 2011, at 22:41, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

Example!

There is indeed a problem with margintexts in a box when they are used in horizontal mode.

\starttext

text\inmargin{1} text

\vbox{\inmargin{2}text}

\vbox{text\inmargin{3}}

text

text\inmargin{4} text

\stoptext
