\inmargin is configures to be always in the left margin, you can use \inothermargin to put the text in the opposite margin or use \inoutermargin to put the text always in the outer margin or you can configure \inmargin to be always in the outer margin \setupmargindata[inmargin][location=outer,align=inner]
Also, is \setupinmargindata equivalent to the old \setupinmargin? I could not find any documentation about it.
Because the command is new and nobody documented it so far. Wolfgang

\inothermargin gives Undefined control sequence.... \inoutermargin works great!
\setupmargindata[inmargin][location=outer,align=inner]
Hm, tried that. The margin text did move to the outer margin, but it was aligned to the paper boarder, not to the body text. (i.e. it was set ragged left/flush right on an odd page)

I see. Thank you for your reply and have a nice day. Christian

\setupmarginframed[inmargin][align=inner] It would really help when you provide a minimal example because it’s very annoying to write always one by myself. Wolfgang

I will remember to include a minimal example from now on. Here is the current: \setuplayout[location=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[location=right,alternative=doublesided] \setupmargindata[inmargin][location=outer,align=inner] % almost correct. on odd pages wrong alignment % \setupmarginframed[inmargin][align=inner] % wrong side on odd pages, also wrong alignment \starttext \chapter{Chapter Knuth testing} \section{Section Knuth testing} \input knuth \inmargin{test}\input knuth\page \section{Section Knuth testing 2} bla bla \inmargin{test 1.5}bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla. \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth}Nochmal \inmargin{test 2}ein Test.\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth}\inmargin{bla} \stoptext Note: \inoutermargin on page 3 behaves correctly, though it seems to have a different default style (why bold, anyway?). As for now, I'm using \inoutermargin .

Whoops! Sent too early, this is the updated minimal example: \setuplayout[location=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[location=right,alternative=doublesided] \setupmargindata[inmargin][location=outer,align=inner] % almost correct. on odd pages wrong alignment % \setupmarginframed[inmargin][align=inner] % wrong side on odd pages, also wrong alignment \starttext \chapter{Chapter Knuth testing} \section{Section Knuth testing} \input knuth \inmargin{test}\input knuth\page \section{Section Knuth testing 2} bla bla \inmargin{test 1.5}bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla. \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth}Nochmal \inmargin{test 2}ein Test.\inoutermargin{this is OK}\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth}\inmargin{bla} \stoptext

Works for me, the margin text is always at the outer margin and the text aligned to the body text.

Aha! It's this combination that makes it work: \setupmargindata[inmargin][location=outer,align=inner] % align=inner has no effect here?! \setupmarginframed[inmargin][align=inner] % but when I add this it works and aligns to the body text Thanks for your help, I'm all set now.

I had a similar problem - thank you, Wolfgang! But I need my marginals as one line, rotated in the inner margin and aligned to the top or bottom of the text area. I don’t know how to achieve the latter. \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \setupmargindata[inmargin][style={\ss\tfx},location=inner,align=outer] \setupmarginframed[inmargin][align=outer,location=inner] \def\Info#1{\margindata[inmargin]{\rotate{#1}}} \starttext \chapter{Tufte} \Info{This is a text by Tufte 1} \input tufte \Info{This is a text by Tufte 2} \chapter{Knuth} \Info{This is a text by Knuth 1} \input knuth \Info{This is a text by Knuth 2} \input knuth \stoptext Greetlings from Lake Constance!
