+%D Support for margin words is one of the reasons for writing
+%D \CONTEXT. Over time support for marginal content has been
+%D extended en enhanced. Therefore it's always good to watch
+%D out for unexpected side effects.

+%D There are three categories and their historically grown meaning is
+%D as follows:
+%D
+%D marginlines: these are flushed relative to the start of a line and
+%D need to be invoked there.
+%D
+%D marginwords: these can be issued in the text flow and will migrate
+%D sidewards; in spite of the name, it can be a paragraph of text as
+%D well, but normally it's words.
+%D
+%D margintexts: these can be set beforehand and are flushed at the
+%D next paragraph of text (of header)
+%D
+%D While these mechanisms were rather separated, they now are slightly
+%D more integrated. Instead of low level instances we now have a mechanism
+%D for defining additional ones.
+
+%D \macros
+%D {inleftedge,inleftmargin,inrightmargin,inrightedge}
+%D
+%D The fast and clean way of putting things in the margin is
+%D using \type{\rlap} or \type{\llap}. Unfortunately these
+%D macro's don't handle indentation, left and right skips. We
+%D therefore embed them in some macro's that (force and)
+%D remove the indentation and restore it afterwards.

+%D We want to keep things efficient and therefore only handle
+%D situations like:
+%D
+%D \startbuffer
+%D \inleftedge {fine} some text \par
+%D \strut \inleftmargin {fine} some text \par
+%D \noindent \inrightmargin {fine} some text \par
+%D \noindent \strut \inrightedge {fine} some text \par
+%D \stopbuffer
+%D
+%D \typebuffer
+%D
+%D which looks like:
+%D
+%D \bgroup
+%D \getbuffer
+%D \parindent 30pt
+%D \getbuffer
+%D \egroup
+%D
+%D A torture test:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \def\TestLine#1#2{\backgroundline[#1]{\strut\white\tttf#2~\recurselevel}}
+%D
+%D \startbuffer
+%D \inleftmargin {\TestLine{red} {lm}} test test test \par
+%D \inrightmargin{\TestLine{green} {rm}} test test test \par
+%D \inleftedge {\TestLine{red} {le}} test test test \par

+%D \stopbuffer

+%D New, yet undocumented:
+%D
+%D used for pascal:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \index {test} test \index {west} west \index {rest} rest
+%D
+%D \startnarrower
+%D \placeregister[index][alternative=b,command=\atleftmargin]
+%D \stopnarrower
+%D \stoptyping
+
+% todo: compensate distance when setuplayout[textwidth=..]
+% todo: generalize margin/edge model, now too much duplication
+
+%D The next bunch of macros looks messy which is due to its
+%D multi-purpose character.

+%D \stoptyping

+%D This approach permits us to implement a better mechanism
+%D later. We need the \type {\graphicvadjust} in order to
+%D handle:

+%D \stoptyping

+%D main text color.
