Hi Jeff !
Try this :
\showframe
\setuppapersize[letter][letter]
\setuplayout
[topspace=0.5cm, bottomspace=0.5cm,
cutspace=4cm, rightmargin=3cm, backspace=2cm, leftmargin=1cm,
header=1cm, footer=0.5cm,
height=middle, width=middle,
margindistance=0.2cm, headerdistance=0.2cm, footerdistance=0.2cm]
% stopping automatic location
\setuppagenumbering[location=none,alternative=doublesided]
% page number in the outer margin at the bottom
\setuptexttexts
[margin] % zone de marge du bloc texte
[]
[\framed[frame=off,width=max,height=max,align={outer,low}]
{\prefixedpagenumber}]
\starttext
\dorecurse{8}{\input knuth\par}
\stoptext
I hope that it is you wanted !

Hi everyone!
The last time I wrote an email to this list was around 14 years ago. I
was using ConTeXt to write my doctoral thesis. Fond memories of that!
After a long hiatus, I'm getting back to it for a personal project I
want to typeset. I'm slowly getting back into it, and I'm stumbling
over something probably simple, but I can't find a proper answer in
the archive.
I'm using a doublesided layout with a wider outer margin for margin
notes.
I'm adding a pagenumber in the footer margin. However, as-is the
number is aligned to the inner edge. I'm trying to align the
pagenumber on the outer edge of that margin. But I can't manage it.
I've tried \setupalign[outer] either as a command or style argument of
\setuppagenumbering but it has no effect.
My working example:
\showframe
\setuppapersize[letter][letter]
\setuplayout[topspace=0.5cm, bottomspace=0.5cm, cutspace=4cm,
rightmargin=3cm, backspace=2cm, leftmargin=1cm, header=1cm,
footer=0.5cm, height=middle, width=middle, margindistance=0.2cm,
headerdistance=0.2cm, footerdistance=0.2cm]
\setuppagenumbering[location={footer, margin}, alternative=doublesided]
\starttext
\dorecurse{8}{\input knuth}
\stoptext
Any help would be appreciated! You guys were really helpful too back
in the day. :-)
Best wishes,
JFS
