Re: [NTG-context] Marginal notes in two-column setup
Hi Gerben,
Have a two column text with the marginal notes from the left column
appear on the left and the ones from the right column on the right.
When I use 2-columns and I use \inmargin, I get them on the right where
the marginal notes from the left column are on top of the right column
(not good)
Is there a way to do this? Probably yes with something \if-like?
After sttudying the sources and a bunch of trial and errors I can come up
with the following solution which works for a two solumns set!
\definecolumnset[example][n=2]
\define[1]\MargText{%
\ifodd\mofcolumns{%
\inleft{#1}}
\else
{\inright{#1}}\fi}
\starttext
\startcolumnset[example]
\MargText{Here left of column}
\input tufte
\column[local]
\input tufte
\MargText{\ifodd\mofcolumns{Hello!, still left of column}\else {Hello, now
right of column}\fi}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
I believe that Hans will make a generic solution...
Kind regards Willi

Great. This works. Now for something different. While learning ConTeXt,
I find that often the syntax escapes me. Take for instance:
\definecolumnset[example][n=2]
\define[1]\MargText{%
\ifodd\mofcolumns{%
\inleft{#1}}
\else
{\inright{#1}}\fi}
\starttext
\startcolumnset[example]
\MargText{Here left of column}
\input tufte
\column[local]
What does [local] mean here? According the the manual one should say
\column and I can't find the explanation of what local means or what
you are doing here.
\input tufte
\MargText{\ifodd\mofcolumns{Hello!, still left of column}\else {Hello,
now
right of column}\fi}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
I believe that Hans will make a generic solution...
