Hi Charles,

I think that "inright" is what you want:

  \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,
  location=inright]

  \starttext
  \dorecurse{20}{\input knuth }
  \stoptext

With current latest from 2021.07.10 21:51, "location=inright" behaves as
you expect using LMTX.

Using MKIV with the current latest, there is no difference between
"location=inright" and "location=inmargin".

I don’t know whether this is intended or not.

I hope it might help,

Pablo

For me, this feature provides the same capability as 'layers' in a graphical 
program. Consider the diagram shown in page 1 of the attached PDF. Suppose I 
want to "highlight" boxes A and B by drawing a square around them. That is 
easy; simply determine the bounding box of A, B (I do that manually here), and 
expand it a bit and draw it. Simple. See page 2. 

Now, suppose I want to fill this highlighted box. Suddenly, we have a problem. 
The highlight box needs to be "behind" the other boxes. How do we do it. We 
determine the location of boxes A, B, and C, but do not draw them. Determine 
the highlight box. Now draw the highlight box first and then draw the boxes. 
Suddenly the code became an order of magnitude more complicated. 

With the new stacking mechanism, I can just put the highlight box on "stack 
-1", and everything works well. See page 4. What's also super cool is that I 
can control what gets shown by changing the stacking key. 

Let's assume that the last MPpage was a \startuseMPgraphic{boxes}  
\stopuseMPgraphic. Suppose I wanted to use these pictures in a presentation. On 
the first slide, I can use

\useMPgraphic[stacking=0]{boxes}

to show the three boxes, and on the next slide, I can use

\useMPgraphic[stacking={-1,0}]{boxes}

to show the boxes and the highlight. Drawing such "conditional" graphics was 
cumbersome in the past. Now, it is easier. 

If you show a bunch of such "conditional" graphics in a sequence, you get an 
animation (or you could wrap around the animation module).

PS: Hans, stacking doesn't completely work with the boxes macro. drawunboxed is 
always drawn on stack 0, which the bpath is drawn on the right stack. That is 
the reason I use stack = -1 to put the highlight in the "background".

[NTG-context] double-sided page number placement

[Charles Doherty]

Dear Hans,

The following file:

\setuplayout[location=doublesided]
\setuppagenumbering[location=inmargin,alternative=doublesided]

\starttext
\dorecurse{20}{\input knuth }
\stoptext

using:
> ConTeXt  ver: 2021.04.21 11:39 LMTX  fmt: 2021.7.11  int: english/english

the left page of the double spread places the page number on the right margin 
of the page and in the right page it is placed on the right margin


using:
> ConTeXt  ver: 2019.06.20 18:47 MKIV beta  fmt: 2019.6.23  int: english/english

the left page of the double spread places the page number on the left margin of 
the page and in the right page it is placed on the right margin. This is what I 
would like to get in LMTX as well. Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks,
Charlie

It's not an animation ... but there are users who make animations with 
mp and then they need stepwise build images so this feature provides 
that (instead of defining 10 different mp graphicss one can dedine just 
one).
