Dear list,
On TeX.SX there was a question about why ConTeXt starts the document with a
left instead of a right
page. Turns out the OP merely confused "marginedge" with "inmargin". However,
that made me wonder,
is "marginedge" perhaps misnamed when it does not place the pagenumber in the
margin close to the
edge of the page? I think it should be named "marginspine" instead. The below
MWE should
illustrate the problem.
Cheers, Henri

\setuppagenumbering
[
alternative=doublesided,
location={footer,marginedge},
]
\starttext
Behold the pagenumber on the left
\stoptext
the edge is the area next to the margin (outer sides) and mostly meant
as independent area for interactive purposes (so one can simply set
their width to zero for paper) ... the terminology will not change as
it's been so for a long time
