poem as a sidefloat

poem as a sidefloat

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Hi, I’d like to have a small poem beside my text.
My approach doesn’t work, with or without \framed:

Since I need this only once, I thought I don’t need to define or setup my own float.

\setupfloat inherits from \setupframed, but the parameters width, style and background(color) don’t work.
Aren’t they supposed to work in \startplacefloat?

How can I suppress the caption? ("none" is supposed to work with \placefloat, but at least doesn’t in \startplacefloat)

With or without framed, vbox and lines didn’t change much. (Of course \framed adds a frame, but the text isn’t within).


\starttext

\dorecurse{2}{\input knuth}

\startplacefloat[
  title=none, % doesn’t work
  numbering=no, % wrong
  location=left,
  width=.33\textwidth, % doesn’t work
  style=\tt, % doesn’t work
  background=color,backgroundcolor=cyan, % doesn’t work
]%
%\framed[
%  width=.33\textwidth,
%  style=\tt,
%  background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow,
%]{\vbox{%
\startlines
lichtung

manche meinen
lechts und rinks
kann man nicht
velwechsern.
werch ein illtum!
\wordright{ernst jandl}
\stoplines
%}}
\stopplacefloat

\dorecurse{2}{\input knuth}

\stoptext

The first argument of \startplacefloat takes the name of the float 
instance, e.g. figure (\startplacefloat [figure]) and the second 
argument a limited list of keys. All other options like the background 
color have to be set with \setupfloat and \setupcation.

You have to put the poem in a framed or framedtext environment with the 
setting width=fit. There is no way to to do this with the float 
environment alone.

Thank you!
The following works, except:
- There’s too much space (2 lines?) within the frame before the poem.
- I’d like to insert some space below the float, spaceafter doesn’t work.


\definefloat[poem]
\setupfloat[poem][
  location=left, % doesn’t work
  width=0.33\textwidth,
  background=color,backgroundcolor=cyan,
  spaceafter=1em, % doesn’t work
]
\setupcaption[poem][
  location=none,
  number=no,
]

\starttext

\dorecurse{2}{\input knuth}
\startplacefloat[poem][location=left,]%
\framedtext[
  frame=off,
  width=fit,
  style=\tt,
  %background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow,
]{%
\startlines%
lichtung

manche meinen
lechts und rinks
kann man nicht
velwechsern.
werch ein illtum!
\wordright{ernst jandl}
\stoplines
}
\stopplacefloat
\dorecurse{2}{\input knuth}

\stoptext

Use the framedtext environment.

You nee sidespacebefore/after but you can only set it for *all* floats.

\definefloat [poem]

% \setupfloat
%   [sidespacebefore=medium]

\setupfloat
   [poem]
   [background=color,
    backgroundcolor=cyan]

\setupcaption
   [poem]
   [number=none]

\starttext

\dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{knuth}}

\startplacefloat [poem] [location=left]
   \startframedtext [frame=off,width=fit,offset=0.25ex]
     \startlines [style=mono]
     lichtung

     manche meinen
     lechts und rinks
     kann man nicht
     velwechsern.
     werch ein illtum!
     \wordright{ernst jandl}
     \stoplines
   \stopframedtext
\stopplacefloat

\dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{knuth}}

\stoptext

Ah, I didn’t expect \startframedtext to behave differently than \framedtext.

Not good, but I’ll just setup my special case in a group.

Thank you again & all the best,
Hraban
