If you don’t need marginals, your left margin is backspace, right margin is: paper width - width - backspace, i.e. for A4: \setuplayout[ backspace=20mm, width=175mm ] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] % mirror right and left pages See also https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout Hraban ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 ___________________________________________________________________________________
