Dear ConTeXt group,

I am trying to stack text and figures in the margin. After getting some help, I 
am able to setup the text just fine, the notes do not overlap. I am also able 
to stack figures, they also do not overlap. But figures and text does not 'know 
of each other'. They do overlap.

I made a small example to show the behavior:

% setup the page format
\definepapersize[wissenschaft][width=170mm,height=240mm]
% use the new page format
\setuppapersize[wissenschaft]
% shape the page 
\setuplayout[topspace=40pt,
                        header=0pt,
                        headerdistance=0pt,
                        backspace=42pt,
                        leftmargin=0pt,
                        width=280pt,
                        height=560pt,
                        rightmargindistance=20pt,
                        rightmargin=100pt,
                        footer=0pt]
%\showframe
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]

\definemargindata [margintext]
    [
      location=outer,
      width=100pt,
         align=flushouter,
         stack=continue, % or yes
    ]
                        
\starttext
This is a sentence.\margintext{This is a note in the margin.} Another 
sentence.\margintext{Another note.}
\placefigure[margin][fig:one]{This is a small 
figure.}{\externalfigure[test][width=100pt]}
\placefigure[margin][fig:two]{This is another small 
figure.}{\externalfigure[test][width=100pt]}
\stoptext

I also tried to do things such as \margintext{\placefigure...}}, but had no 
success. 

Is there a way to achieve a 'stacking' of all marginals?

Andy
