Dear list, On TeX.SX there was a question about why ConTeXt starts the document with a left instead of a right page. Turns out the OP merely confused "marginedge" with "inmargin". However, that made me wonder, is "marginedge" perhaps misnamed when it does not place the pagenumber in the margin close to the edge of the page? I think it should be named "marginspine" instead. The below MWE should illustrate the problem.
Cheers, Henri --- \setuppagenumbering [ alternative=doublesided, location={footer,marginedge}, ] \starttext Behold the pagenumber on the left \stoptext ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
