Wolfgang,
I have to come back to this solution you provided me with some time ago. I have
more reading in the meantime and have gained a deeper understanding of how this
actually works. However...
1. I noticed that the text in the margin is not actually quite aligned with the
top of the figure; I think the text starts at the baseline of the line that
would be there if the figure was not, if you know what I am getting at. That is
at 12pt font size the text is about 12pt below the top of the figure. I tried
to fix that with some negative \vskip, but that does not seem to work. Could
you suggest an alternative please and maybe even explain why the code below
does not compile
You can set the text in the margin with the second argument of
\startplacefigure.
\define\FigureText
{\dowithnextbox
{\startlinealignment[middle]
\copy\nextbox\rlap{\hskip\rightmargindistance\vskip-12pt\framed[frame=off,width=\rightmarginwidth,height=\nextboxht]{\floatuserdataparameter{text}}}
\stoplinealignment}
\hbox}
2. Currently the code always uses the right margin; I need it to use the outer
margin. I experimented swapping the \rlap for \llap, but then I still have to
negatively \hskip the entire text width to the left. Even if I got that to
work, I will have to wrap everything in an if-statement and have one branch for
left and one for right pages. Right? How do I find out whether I am on a left
or a right page? In other words, how would the if-statement look like.

[NTG-context] Vertically Aligning inmargin Text to Figure
Hi,
I need to associate a bit of text with a figure in a book. The text is
not---and cannot be---the figure caption (it's providing some explanation with
respect to some labels in the figure). I have tried the following based on some
other post on the mailing list:
\definepapersize[eightsquare][width=8in, height=8in]
\setuppapersize[eightsquare]
\setuplayout[
location=doublesided, marking=on, backspace=43mm, leftmargin=18mm,
leftmargindistance=4mm, rightmargin=35mm, rightmargindistance=4mm,
rightedgewidth=6mm,
topspace=12mm, header=15mm, footer=15mm, height=179mm, width=115mm
]
\starttext
\startplacefigure[location=force, title={First dummy caption}]
\inmargin{First margin dummy}
\externalfigure[dummy][width=115mm]
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext
However, that results in the text being down the bottom of the figure. I need
the text to be vertically aligned with the top of the figure. I have attached
the resulting PDF for illustration purposes (is that okay on this mailing list?
It's very small).
Any hints would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Malte.
