Interesting looking document. :-) indeed! btw, did you consider a chapter head that used the margin as well? i.e. - move the chapter number to the outer margin - make it much bigger, maybe dark gray (or red since you use red) - add a bit more space after the chapter header that way it stands out better how do you make the chemical pictures?

To answer my own question:
To get margin kerning in the footnotes/endnotes as well as in the
body text, put
\usetypescript[serif,sans,mono,mm][hanging][normal]
\setupalign[hz,hanging]
\setupfootnotes[align={hz,hanging}]
before the fonts are installed.
indeed; this has to do with the fact that pdftex (tex) has some nasty
global font assignments and optimizations hard coded

If I put a \ifprocessingverbatim\else \fi around the table in the

environment temporarily to get the header text out. How should I do
that? \stoptyping ... \starttyping do not do it.
