Hello!

I've just started using ConTeXt (some previous experience with LaTeX, but not 
much) and have a question.

Every year my students union produce a book containing information about the 
union and a collection of addresses of the members. Previously this book has 
been made by hand in Adobe Indesign. Now I have written a PHP-script that 
outputs a ConTeXt-file that I then convert to pdf. However, previously we have 
used a layout where information has been put in the outer and inner columns 
depending on if it's a lefthand- or righthand page.
It looks like this:

---------------------------------------------
| info1    | text1    || text3    | info3    |
|          |          ||          |          |
|          |          ||          |          |
|          |          ||          |          |
|          |          ||          |          |
| info2    | text2    || text4    | info4    |
|          |          ||          |          |
|          |          ||          |          |
|          |          ||          |          |
| 1        |          ||          |        2 |
----------------------------------------------

In 'info' we put information about 'text'. This 'info' needs the same width as 
the text and also some formatting. 


I have tried solving this by using \inmargin and \startmarginblock, but nothing 
gives a good result.

Does anyone have any idea if this is possible to solve? (If you want I can send 
you a pdf showing how it lokks like in inDesign).
