ConTeXt Float Positioning (Figures and Tables) After Paragraph

ConTeXt Float Positioning (Figures and Tables) After Paragraph

[Dietrich Rordorf / MDPI]

Dear ConTeXt Collegaues,

Float Positioning (Figures and Tables):
Explained at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Floating_Objects

place[here] will preferably place the float "here" (usually the ConTeXt 
code for the figure/table is placed at the end of a paragraph which 
refers to this figure/table). However, if it does not fit onto the page, 
it will be moved to the top of the next page. This is not always 
wonderful, as it splits paragraphs into two parts (the paragraph starts 
on page n-1, then the float is placed on top of page n, and the same 
paragraph continues on page n, after the float). This is very annoying 
to read, as you expect the paragraph text to continue when you turn, or 
in the digital, pdf-world, move to the next page.

Is there any possibility to automatically place floats after/before a 
paragraph without splitting a paragraph into two parts? Instead of 
moving the float to the top of page n, ConTeXt should first try to place 
it on the top of the paragraph which refers to it, if the float still 
does not fit, ConTeXt should try to place it after the next paragraph, 
but not in the middle of a paragraph.

We have been using ConTeXt on an experimental workflow to produce 
scientific journal articles. A sample PDF produced with ConTeXt can be 
found at the http://www.mdpi.org/marinedrugs/papers/md6010025.pdf link. 
Please note the figure/table placement. These floats have been placed 
manually.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Dietrich
