Dear group,
I met a nine-year-old who claimed she could write Context. I asked her to try,
but her code had errors. I’m a Context beginner, finding it daunting to learn.
Can someone please look at her Context below and advise me if I should ask her
for help with learning Context?
\defineparagraphs creates an environment for multi columns text which
has to fit on a single page but the example uses the command created
with it in a wrong way.
An easier way to have a column for annotations etc. is to use the margin
area and change the page layout to get the desired dimensions.
\setuplayout
[backspace=55mm,
leftmargin=30mm,
leftmargindistance=5mm,
topspace=20mm,
width=middle,
height=middle]
\definemargindata
[Anmerkung]
[inleft]
\showframe[text][leftmargin,text]
\starttext
\Anmerkung{Anmerkung!}
Main text!
\stoptext
Wolfgang
