Float on opposite page

Float on opposite page

[Charles]

Hi,

I have a problem with float positioning. I would like to have text on 
even pages and text on odd pages. I tried:

- "\placetable[opposite]" but then the tables are not included.
- "\placetable[rightpage]" but then each table is on a new page.

I would like to have my figures/tables on a new even page, but if 2 
figures/tables fit on one page, they should not be on two different 
pages but together on the same even page (I was thinking "opposite" 
should do that).

Thanks for your help

Charles


\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]

\starttext

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, maecenas malesuada, ut tellus ac a egestas 
donec, lectus aliquam, purus orci fermentum porta sed. Ut quis risus 
suspendisse, convallis vel velit suspendisse amet diam urna, erat auctor 
vestibulum nec amet lorem, at fringilla cursus aenean donec dui at. 
Neque duis luctus netus magna, orci nulla vivamus consectetuer nulla, 
amet felis in sodales dictum parturient ipsum, consequuntur malesuada.

\placetable[opposite]{Legend 1}{Content of Table 1}

\placetable[opposite]{Legend 1}{Content of Table 2}

Vestibulum ut pretium fringilla dui dui odio, pellentesque arcu leo id. 
Malesuada curabitur, urna nostrum mauris lobortis, ante luctus donec a, 
congue arcu placerat dictum non integer, nulla non.

Thanks but it doesn't work (TeX capacity exceeded) and anyway the 
figures would not be centered on the page.
