<pre>
from Taco:
The use of narrower is a bit abnormal.
\Set default values for the <code>left</code>, <code>right</code>, and <code>middle</code> parameters of {{cmd|startnarrower}}. {{cmd|startnarrower }} will still use <code>middle</code> by default, unless you specify <code>left</code> for <code>right</code>, but you need no longer specify the width of the extra margin(\startsmaller in dutchs) is one of the oldestcommands in ConTeXt. It predates the now-normal conventionsby a few yearsrequested.
Don't expect any changes to \startnarrower.But perhaps a more predictable alternative could be added.</pre>== Comment ==
this is narrowerA thief was he, of very high repute, being patronized by the lofty and elect, for he stole nothing smaller than the Moomoo's egg, and in all his life stole only four kinds of stone---the ruby, the diamond, the emerald, and the sapphire; and, as jewellers go, his honesty was great.

== Description ==
The use of narrower is a bit abnormal.
<tt>\startnarrower</tt> (<tt>\startsmaller</tt> in dutch) is one of the oldest commands in ConTeXt. It predates the now-normal conventions by a few years.
Don't expect any changes to <tt>\startnarrower</tt>. But perhaps a more predictable alternative could be added.

<pre classcontext source="exampleyes">\setuppapersize[A5]\setupnarrower[middle=1cm]\setupnarrower[left=3cm2cm, right=3cm2cm] When Thangobrind the jeweller heard the ominous cough, he turned at once upon that narrow way.
