Hi,
It is not a bug. It is standard TeX: a space counts after } and is ignored
immediately after a control sequence such as \item. To override either, you
have to be explicit, \ignorespaces as Hans suggested in your case and \
(backslash-space) in the other to put a space in. My preferred, idiosyncratic,
pedantic way to ignore spaces in this case is a comment symbol and newlines:
\starttext
\startitemize
\item
This is just a normal completely innocent paragraph against which one will be
able to judge the amount of indentation of the next paragraph.
\item\inmargin{Duck}%
This paragraph has a duck inmargin comment
\stopitemize
\stoptext
But I like newlines in my code, probably because I started editing text on
24x80 crt that would show only the first 80 characters of a line.

Hi everyone,
I am experiencing a problem with \inmargin{some text} in \itemized lists. I
am using them a lot in my documents, and it is kind of annoying. It appears
that if one uses the \inmargin macro just prior to the \item macro, the
in-margin text is typeset against the previous line, not the line with the
\item. Minimal example.
\starttext
\startitemize
\item This is just a normal completely innocent paragraph against which
one will be able to judge the amount of indentation of the next paragraph.
\inmargin{Duck}\item This paragraph has a duck inmargin comment
\stopitemize
\stoptext
That seems fair enough and even makes sense on some level. If however, one
reverses the two macros, like so:
\item\inmargin{Duck} This paragraph has a duck inmargin comment
the leading space just after the closing brace is actually printed. I take
this to be a bug, or is this by design? The only way I can around this is to
not use a space, like so:
\item\inmargin{Duck}This paragraph has a duck inmargin comment
But I don't find that to be a satisfying solution. After all I am using
ConTeXt because I am a bit pedantic about text, even the source code in this
case.
Regards,
Malte.
