It should be OuterMarginWidth but it is only correctly positioned for InnerMarginWidth, indicating therefore that the distances were not updated (?).

[NTG-context] Double-sided documents with MetaFun's Field[Text][Text]
Dear list,
I have a double-sided document in which I want to draw certain page
backgrounds on the right (odd) and left (even) pages. Here is an example
%%% SOF
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setuplayout
[backspace=4cm,
leftmargin=4cm,
cutspace=2cm,
rightmargin=2cm,
leftmargindistance=0cm,
rightmargindistance=0cm,
header=2cm,
footer=2cm,
topspace=1cm,
bottomspace=1cm,
top=1cm,
bottom=1cm,
width=middle,
height=fit]
\startuseMPgraphic{page}
StartPage;
draw Area[Text][Text]
shifted (InnerMarginWidth,BottomHeight+FooterHeight);
draw Field[Text][Text] withcolor blue;
StopPage;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[page][\useMPgraphic{page}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=page]
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \page}
\stoptext
%%% EOF
In the resulting PDF the Field[Text][Text] path is not positioned (/computed?)
correctly, while the manually positioned Area[Text][Text] path is as expected.
So, it seems that the margin widths and other distance are updated for each
odd, even page but Field[Text][Text] is still wrong? The Field[Text][Text]
path appears on every page as though it is on an odd (right) page.
Have I missed something?
Thanks,
śrīrāma (Sreeram)

Re: [NTG-context] Regular online meet-up
Hi Alain,
in my current project I need the same. I use floats and move the
externalfigure with \offset; can show you on Tuesday.
e.g.
\startplacefigure[title={},location=left]% or outer...
\offset[topoffset=-1em,leftoffset=-20mm]{%
% it would be nice to have outeroffset/inneroffset
\externalfigure[Schweinehund][width=50mm]}
\stopplacefigure

Hi!
I'll try to join and I have a question regarding inserting floats in
outer margins in double sided document. The outer margins are large and
the inner small. I want to insert my floats (mainly figures) in the
outer margins and have them at level where they are called. Furthermore,
sometimes the float is to large, so it should take part of the text,
with the text surrounding it.
But this is perhaps answered in context garden, but I didn't find where.
And if there are more fundamental questions, my can wait.
See you on Tuesday.

[Howto]
* No special software installation required; most modern browsers
should work (WebRTC required).
* Open the above URL, accept the privacy statement,
* enter your name,
* click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first),
* click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the
audio.
* Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or
camera with the buttons at the bottom.
* Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom
right.
* If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make
yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting,
then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button;
also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button.
Beware there is only one presenter, so don’t kill someone else’s
presentation.
[Technical hints]
* Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone).
* Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency
on your side, e.g. with mobile connections.
* If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat.
* Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth.
* You can also join with a regular telephone (audio only, of course),
call +49-6151-86275-22 (German landline); then you must enter a PIN
that changes every time – if you need it, ask me for it via email.
Mute/unmute your microphone with "0".
[Netiquette]
* Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel
uncomfortable with anonymous lurkers.
* Mute your microphone while you’re not talking.
* It’s nice to show your face at least when you join.
* If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing.
* The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you...
See you, Hraban

Re: [NTG-context] Odd Font Behavior in startstop Group

Hi Wolfgang,
I have a related question:
I noticed that the font settings were wrong in the original MWE of Michael. I
am also aware that ConTeXt has a blockquote env (having used it before). In
fact, I first tested the following example before responding to Michael's
question:
%%% SOF
\usebodyfont[termes]
\setupbodyfont[schola]
\setupdelimitedtext
[blockquote]
[style={\switchtobodyfont[termes]}]
\starttext
main body font here
\startblockquote
\input knuth
\stopblockquote
{\bf test}\par
{\it test}
\startblockquote
{\bf test}
{\it test}
\stopblockquote
\stoptext
%%% EOF
In the above, if the first line '\usebodyfont[termes]' is removed, the second
blockquote env renders in schola not termes. Moreover, on removing the first
blockquote env with '\input knuth' the second one appears correctly in termes.
Thus, regardless of other things, '\usebodyfont[termes]' seems to be necessary
here. Is this correct or am I missing something?
Thanks,
śrīrāma (Sreeram)

Re: [NTG-context] Odd Font Behavior in startstop Group
Michael Urban via ntg-context schrieb am 05.02.2022 um 20:28:
I am experiencing an odd behavior switching text styles in a defined startstop group
("blockquote"). I get different behavior depending on whether the
switchtobodyfont in the startstop definition includes the dummy {\it } and {\bf } text.
If they are not there, the italic and boldface switches in the second blockquote revert
to the gyreschola body font of the main text; but this only happens if there is an
earlier blockquote with no style changes. This is with:
[...]
Do I need a newer version of ConTeXt, or am I doing something wrong?
Fonts in ConTeXt are always perilous, alas. For me, anyway.
\definefallbackfamily[story][serif][notoserif][range={greekandcoptic,greekextended},force=yes]
\definefontfamily[story][serif][TeX Gyre Schola]
The following two font settings are wrong, you're passing the name of a
typescript for the third argument while \definefontfamily expects the
family name of a font.
Even though the usage of the command is wrong you didn't notice it
because as a fallback \definefontfamily uses the Latin Modern version of
the requested style when no font was found.
\definefontfamily[story][sans][modern]
\definefontfamily[story][mono][modern]
The correct settings for both settings are
\definefontfamily [story] [sans] [Latin Modern Sans]
\definefontfamily [story] [mono] [Latin Modern Mono] [features=none]
with the "features=none" for the mono font to ensure no ligatures are
formed.
An alternative for \definefontfamily is to use \definetypeface and
choose a predefined typescript for the Latin Modern family. You can
either use
\definetypeface [story] [ss] [sans] [modern] [default]
\definetypeface [story] [ss] [mono] [modern] [default]
which uses the 10pt optical size even for smaller and bigger sizes or
you enable optical sizes with the following typescript
\definetypeface [story] [ss] [sans] [modern-designsize] [default]
\definetypeface [story] [ss] [mono] [modern-designsize] [default]
\definefontfamily[story][mm][TeX Gyre Pagella Math]
I recommend to load the math font with the provided typescript because
they ensure existing patches (e.g. spacing corrections) for the selected
font are applied.
\definetypeface [story] [mm] [math] [pagella] [default]
\setupbodyfont[story,11pt]
\definestartstop[blockquote]
[
before={ \blank \startnarrower \setupwhitespace[2pt] \setupindenting[none]
\switchtobodyfont[termes]{\it }{\bf }% This is so weird. Put a
comment marker after [termes] for a different result
},
after={ \stopnarrower \blank \indenting[next]},
]%
ConTeXt already provides a blockquote-environment which can be
configured to have the same style as your custom environment.
\startsetups [blockquote:style]
\switchtobodyfont[termes]
\setupwhitespace[2pt]
\stopsetups
\setupdelimitedtext
[blockquote]
[spacebefore=big,
style=\directsetup{blockquote:style},
indenting=none,
indentnext=yes]
