I swear I used to understand this stuff. I plead old age. Why do I
get two different results from the float placements here:
\definefloat[mysidebar][mysidebars]
\setupfloat[mysidebar][leftmargindistance=-.25in,rightmargindistance=-.25in,outer,none]
1. You can't pass assignments and keywords to the same argument.
2. The \setupfloat command accepts only assignments as arguments, this
means "outer" and "none" are ignored.
To set a default location for the float use
\setupfloat[...][default={outer,none}]
\defineframedtext [sidebartext]
[width=.4\textwidth,bodyfont=small,corner=round,background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray,align=flushleft]
\starttext
This is a bit of text
\placefloat[sidebar][leftmargindistance=-.25in,rightmargindistance=-.25in,outer,none]{}{
1. You're again passing assignments and keywords with a single argument.
2. The \placefloat commands accepts only keywords and ignores all
assignments, this means your distance settings have no effect.
