[Hraban]

There's no end...

FIRST:

I tried the construction from "ConTeXt -- an excursion"
to place two pictures side by side:

\placefigure[here][symbols]{none}
\startcombination[2*1]
{\externalfigure[sym1]}{Text about Symbol 1}
{\externalfigure[sym2]}{Text about Symbol 2}
\stopcombination

The pictures are rather small round logos,
and their descriprion must be wider than them.
How can I give more horizontal space to them?

I tried something like \hbox{\strut This is some text}
within the first curly braces, but the text is visible.

SECOND:

I'd like to use a logo like a letter and defined:

\useexternalfigure[logo1][logofile][height=1em]
\define\textlogo{\hbox{\externalfigure[logo1]}}

I'm happy that it's auto-scaling with the "em",
but it hangs a bit above the base line of the
text, but should be on it. How must I change
my definition?

Well, lucky me then, that I still have some answers and options in store.

How about something: 

\startbuffer
\setupcombinations[width=4cm]
\startcombination
 ...
\stopcombination

\placefigure[here][..]{none}{\getbuffer}

Something like: 

\def\koe{\sbox{\externalfigure[koe][height=\lineheight]}}

test test \koe\ test test test test \koe\ test test test
test \koe\ test test test test \koe\ test test test test
\koe\ test test test test \koe\ test test test test \koe\
test test

[so, \sbox does the trick, alternative: 

\hbox{\lower.2ex\hbox{your fig}}

Not necessary but it simply looks better in code, as well as there is less
chance on {} errors [it also groups the setup command nicely]

\hbox to 5cm{\hss\sbox{\hbox{oeps}}\hss}

One way of doing these things is using framed and packing them together. 

\hbox
  {\framed[width=5cm,height=5cm]{figure}%
   \framed[width=10cm,height=5cm]{some text}}

etc. Turn of the frame, set the offset to 'overlay' and done.

I thank you for your patience with me.

Is it necessary to use this buffer construction? Why?

I changed my file in this way. It's better than before,
but the text stays only as wide as the logo (and is
therefore wrapped horribly).
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough: I need a space of e.g.
5 cm for the logo (which is 2 cm wide itself). In this
space it should be centered, the describing text should
wrap at the whole width (5 cm).

It's useful at another place.

Hi,

I probably forgot to tell, but since a fee betas we have

\setupexternalfigures
   [order={pdf,png,jpg},
    directory={./images},
    ..]

i.e. the order key can enforce the quality order as well as limit the 
amount of lookups (which saves time when images are -still- missing)

Hans
