I have a situation when I have to put side by side two
floats (a table and figure). My current code is
\placetable[here][label]{caption}%
{\\placesidebyside
{table code}{figure code}
}
The problem is that sometimes the combined width of table
and figure is bigger than the textwidth. I would like the
combo to be centered across the page, not starting from the
left margin of the text and invading the right margin only.
How can I achieve this?

Have you tried \centerline (may not work)?
\placetable[here][label]{caption}%
{\centerline{\placesidebyside{table code}{figure code}}}

\startcombination
\stopcombination

It works, but it needs a \scantokens inside the centerline
because of the active stuff in the tables setups.
Thanks.

put 'm in buffers:
\startbuffer[table]
...
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer[figure]
...
\figure
\placetable
[here][label]
{caption}
{\centerline
{\placesidebyside
{\getbuffer[table]}
{\getbuffer[figure]}}}

Could help, but I've chosen to try a different layout
(separate thread). Can you give it a shot?
