[NTG-context] margins while two columns texts
Hello, I want to have text in two columns and use inmargin. But in margin allways put objects to left margin. I want in left column place objects to left margin and in right column to place objects to right margin. It is possible in ConTEXT somehow? ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

While the binding of a book does eat some of the inner margin, it's
probably less than you think (IIRC, from ¼ʺ to ½ʺ, depending on
the
binding method), and often the print shop can correct for that. (If
you need to be exact, measure against a book bound where your book
will be and in the same method.)
It depends on the binding method.
The traditional margin sizes are only good for thread-stitching.
If your book's bound threadless (perfect binding, Wire-O etc.) your
inner margins need to be bigger (not always bigger as the outer, but
at least bigger than the traditional measures).
It's not only that the bookbinder mills away a few millimeters of the
page - you can't open a adhesive bound book as much as a thread-
stitched, so you need a wider gutter to be able to read the book
without destroying the binding. (Or in case of spiral binding the
holes for the wire need enough space.)
And if you need to send your PDF print-ready to your printshop (maybe
books-on-demand maker), there's nobody else who will correct for that.
Insofar the OP's question is well justified.
Even if he could have found the answer easily himself:
Of course you can define your page layout at will,
see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout
Well, the information here does not solv my problem completely.
The thing is, that while I do want the inner margins to be larger than
the outer, my description also implies that the odd numbered pages are
right pages, which is sometimes a requirement for printed books.
I have tried to define the margins following the Layout section of the
manual, but I can't figure out how to change that the odd pages are
assumed to be left pages.

[NTG-context] margins
Hi I'm typesetting a document to be printed in book format. For this purpose I need the left margin of an odd numbered page to be larger than the right margin, and the right margin of an even numbered page to be larger than the left margin. However, the standard behaviour seems to be the opposite. Can any of you give me an example of how to reverse this?

you need to:
- either add a line input metafun ; at the top of your metapost files
- or run mptopdf seminar.mp which will run metapost+create PDF
instead of running mpost/mp seminar.mp first and convert to PDF
later
When including a picture in ConTeXt, one options could also be to use:

This gives me some font issues, but I am not really bothered, since

The command enlarged isn't contained in standard MetaPost but only

He can set the offset in ConTeXt and not in MetaPost, e.g.
\offset[leftoffset=...]{\externalfigure[fugurename]}
The \offset command is described in the details manual, he can also
look at the definition in core-box.

Well, that seems to be a nice option, but it fills the offset region
in the background colour instead of white. I'll try to figure out if
there's some workaround for that. Also, I'll try Oliver's solution,
though it seems to generate full pages and not individual images.
But, is there still an elegant way to have more margin in MetaPost
images?

Hi Gerhard,
you can use \definelayout to define individuell Layouts.
Find your solution in one of the following examples.
1. We define a Layout for the first page and switch back to the global
Layout after the first page:
\definelayout[1][backspace=4cm,width=middle]
\showframe
\starttext
\input knuth
\page\setuplayout
\input knuth
\stoptext
2. The same way in combination with \startstandardmakeup:
\definelayout[1][backspace=4cm,width=middle]
\showframe
\starttext
\startstandardmakeup[after=\setuplayout]
\input knuth
\stopstandardmakeup
\input knuth
\stoptext
3. We define a Layout for the first page and another one for the second
one following pages:
\definelayout[1][backspace=4cm,width=middle]
\definelayout[2][backspace=3cm,width=14cm]
\showframe
\starttext
\input knuth
\page
\input knuth
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] margins at a cover page
Hi Gerhard,
I do not know whtherr I understand your problem correctly. However,
if you want total control of the typesetting area on your paper one
should use more options in the settuplayout command. Think about
topspace, backspace, margins, margindistance, which all do have a
predefined value.

Hi,
I think it is not appropriate to have a smaller left than right margin
at a cover page. But my tries to achieve this are not successful.
My relevant expressions:
\setuplayout[header=0mm,location=middle]
\definelayer[bild][x=0mm, y=0mm, width=\paperwidth,
height=\paperheight]
\setlayer[bild][]{\externalfigure[cover4a1.pdf][]}
\defineoverlay[cover][{\placelayer[bild]}]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=singlesided]
\setupnumbering[place=]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=cover]
\startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no]
