Thanks Mojca for trying it now you check that this was very

You probably have to add another 1in to the backspace, for the \hoffset.
If the exact way is too complicated, is there any **approximate** way to
obtain the usually margins in LaTeX article in 10 pt?
The exact way would be to read the LaTeX class and figure out what
dimensions are being used there. The approximate way would be to
visually compare the output of LaTeX and ConTeXt.
Sure there is: print an article.cls output pdf and measure the distances
with a ruler (that is what I do when I need to mimic a layout).
Or take Adobe Acrobat and use measuring tool, or compare visually
(aligning two documents in pdf viewer). If you print out the material
there's always a chance that printer won't align the edges properly.
The third option is to use the following in LaTeX to figure out what
dimensions are being used in LaTeX, compare that with figure in The
Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX and then use these numbers in
ConTeXt (properly adjusted for the differences):
hoffset=\the\hoffset\par
oddsidemargin=\the\oddsidemargin\par
marginparwidth=\the\marginparwidth\par
textwidth=\the\textwidth\par
But after I have managed to guess somehow that the horizontal
dimensions were matching
[backspace=\dimexpr 1in+31pt\relax
width=\dimexpr 390pt\relax,
in latex,12pt (but for some unknow reason hyphenation in ConTeXt was
off, or at least at different penalty values, so I didn't manage to
compare the line breaks) ... I realized that margins change if you try
to use
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
instead of 12pt, so one would need to account for that change as well.

One more warning: AFAIR, [10pt,a4paper] != [a4paper,10pt].

you can be pretty sure that defaults in context differe from those in
latex, if only because latex never was the starting point

Re: [NTG-context] Fwd: Migrations: exactly LaTeX margins -- ConTeXt margins
I follow your suggestion: rule but I'm in trouble: with
\setuplayout[topspace=3cm,leftmargin=3cm,rightmargin=3cm,header=2cm,footer=2cm,width=12cm,height=fit,backspace=3cm,rightedge=5cm,leftedge=5cm]
I obtained a non-centered layout!!! leftedge and rightedge are the
margins between the final of the paper and the {left,right}margin, isn't?
How to center the layout with
topspace=3cm,
leftmargin=3cm,
rightmargin=3cm,
header=2cm,
footer=2cm,
width=12cm,
height=fit,
backspace=3cm

margins and edges are sort of virtual; they only are used for putting
stuff into (and then the dimensions determins the width etc) ...
backspace and cutspace are the ones to use

There is a technical explanation in The Not so Short Introduction to

It's too much for me. I supose there are equivalencies in ConTeXt but
too bit tech for me.

Anyone could say me the exact values I have to put in **layout**?
You first have to figure out what the exact latex values are. I suppose that
they are documented somewhere or can be deduced from the document class
(maybe make a list for more popular document classes).
At some point there can be a module doing things like
\definelayout[latex-article][...]
