Hi,

Does somebody know whether it is possible and how it is possible to
place the caption of a figure in the margin?

Thanks,
Alex Lubberts

yes, actually i implemented this last week but i need to update the details manual; captions can go in margins, hang in centered figures, there is support for all kind of inner/outer alignments etc

Great!
I looked at the source to find out how to do it. Am I right in thinking
that this should work?

\setupcaptions[location=outermargin]
\starttext
\placefigure{Caption}{\framed{Figuur}}
\stoptext

However, when I try this, there is no caption printed at all. Am I doing
something wrong?
(Perhaps, can I be of any assistance?)

Regards,
Alex

figure captions in the margin

[Richard Weickelt]

Hello,

I want to have captions for figures, listings and other stuff inside the
document margin. I saw that someone asked a very similar question 3 years
ago: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20061025.211202.c2e04f8c.en.html

Hans said, that he had already implemented that feature, but in fact it
still doesn't work. So the code

\setupcaptions[location=outermargin]
\starttext
\placefigure{Caption}{\framed{Figuur}}
\stoptext

still prints no caption at all. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and ConTeXt from the
repositories. Is this version too old?

Thank You.
Richard
