Hi, Under latex I was using marginnotes quite intensivly (komascript). So I want this under context/xetex, too. For that I defined: \setuplayout[alternative=doublesided, margin=4cm, ....] and later in the text I am using: text text text \inmargin{abc} text text But instead of having the margin always at the outer side - I have the 4cm-margin always at the right site . The same strange behavior with the margintext. Instead of having the margin text always on the outer side - I have the margintext always on the left side. I am looking for a solution to have the 4cm-margin and the margintext always at the outer side. Ciao, H.

thanks taco, that works for the margintext :-). Now only the the probem with the outermargin is left. - till now, the outermargin is always at the right site, instead of flipping left/right.
\inmargin works fine here: \setuplayout [ rightmargin=4cm, leftmargin=1cm] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \showframe \starttext \input knuth\inmargin{Blah Blah Blah} \page \input knuth\inmargin{Blah Blah Blah} \stoptext Aditya
