I couldn't figure out how to do what I want from this document, which
is, very detailed. (Hence: details.pdf!) Let me ask more specific
questions:

1. In order to control the placement of a float better, do I need to use

   \setupfloat[figure]
   \setupfloat[table]
   % etc

   ?

2. I want to place a table or a figure on a page. I want to move it,
say, 10 cm from the left margin. How do I do this? 

3. I want to create extra white space before and after the float. How
do I do this? 

4. Sometimes I want the text to flow around the float, and sometimes I
don't. How do I do this?

Thanks

Paul
