I have been looking for a trick to place figures near their reference
in the text, without imposing a paragraph break.
This trick works (so thanks again to Aditya and Luigi):
\starttext
Some text is described \in{figure}[fig:reference].
\startpostponing[+0]
\startplacefigure[location=here,reference=fig:reference,
title={This figure gets placed somewhere near its reference.}]
\externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth]
\stopplacefigure
\stoppostponing
The text continues here without a paragraph break.
\stoptext
A few comments:
1. The \startpostponing...\stoppostponing is necessary,
although some other wrapper around the placefigure might also work.
2. The % at the end of the lines in the above examples is not necessary
unless one seeks to kill the spacing between {HERE}{AND HERE}.
3. One should preferably be using \startplacefigure\stopplacefigure
(rather than \placefigure). Besides being cleaner, as a bonus
one gets to use title={},list={} for the figure caption and
list of figure entry.
Should placefigure be "fixed" somehow so as to hide its paragraph
break itself?
Alan
