(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?
