Aha, so this works -- thanks Aditya. Although it seems strange that this is
hidden under 'page numbering' which (I would say) is nothing to do with page
margins!

Re: [NTG-context] inside and outside margins (vs. 'left' and 'right' margins)
Hi Otared,
Thanks. Two problems here:
- the \inoutermargin and \ininnermargin commands add text to the margins. I
can set it to no text, but I don't see why they would be necessary to define
inner and outer margin size.
- the location=doublesided looks like what I was looking for, but it doesn't
affect anything! (Nor does duplex.) Every page still has the same margins
irrespective of whether they're even or odd.
James

Re: [NTG-context] inside and outside margins (vs. 'left' and 'right' margins)
Hi James,
You can use
\inoutermargin{some marginal note}
and
\ininnermargin{some marginal note}
Then when you use
\setuplayout[location=doublesided]
at the beginning of your file, the above two commands should give you what you
seem to be wanting.
Best regards: OK

[NTG-context] inside and outside margins (vs. 'left' and 'right' margins)
I want to define 'inside' and 'outside' margins (i.e. left and right pages are symmetrical, not the same). Reading the document 'co-pagedesign.pdf', ConTeXt talks about 'left' and 'right' margins (and other measurements). At first I thought this must be either a 'representative' left or right page (the diagram on page 3 doesn't say which), but experimenting suggests that there really is no concept of left and right pages here (despite the incredible detail that the document goes into on arranging pages etc which must understand this). In short this is a basic requirement. How do I solve it?
