floats side by side

floats side by side

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Hello again,

I need to place several figures side by side (e.g. pictures of persons).
I know I can use combinations, but I need the figures with captions included in the usual numbering of figures and not one number & caption for the combination.
How can I achieve this?

Best, Hraban

Use a float combination:

\useMPlibrary[dum]

\starttext

\input ward

\startplacefigure[title={Dummy}]
     \externalfigure[dummy]
\stopplacefigure

\input jojomayer

\startplacefigure[location=none]
     \startfloatcombination[2*1]
         \startplacefigure[title={Left dummy}]
             \externalfigure[dummy]
         \stopplacefigure
         \startplacefigure[title={Right dummy}]
             \externalfigure[dummy]
         \stopplacefigure
     \stopfloatcombination
\stopplacefigure

\input weisman

\stoptext

Thank you very much!

It works like it should.

I learn something new about ConTeXt every day.
