Hi,
I need to create some small tables that are (possibly) next to each other.
Though I could make text flow around tables and appear to the left or
to the right of the table, I could not manage something like this:
+--------------------------------------+
| | |
| Table 1 content | Table 2 content |
| | |
| Table 1 TITLE | Table 2 TITLE |
| | |
+------------------|-------------------+
So I tried to use nested floats to achieve this (floats because I want each
to have its own number and title).
Below my mail, I have pasted the code I used to accomplish this. I don't
understand why, but it starts numbering with 7 onwards. Is there a way I can
fix the numbering?
Best regards,
Prash

Nesting floats is not a good idea.

There are other ways to achieve that.

Hi Marco,
I hesitate to use combinations because Table 1.1 (a) and Table 1.1 (b)
are not always related to each other. But I will use combinations if
everything else fails.
Do you have any intuitions as to why the numbering begins at 7? I tried
to not use the outermost float ("\placetable[here,none][]{}{ ") and it
still started numbering at 7. I believe this is an issue with nested
tables, not nested floats.
Best regards,
Prash

You can use floatcombinations: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20060411.201855.519a8b16.en.html

The example code in the mail give an error message:
! Use of \somelocalfloat doesn't match its definition.

Hi Wolfgang,
This is exactly what I was looking for. However, it works only in mkii,
not in mkiv. Searching though the mailinglist for floatcombinations, I
came across this discussion (
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20100601.084655.c7d6e858.en.html).
Taco's solution works just like Hans' code, but again, only in mkii.
Best regards,
Prash

With a simple fix in strc-flt.mkvi \startcombination will work but still each figure is to wide and all of them won’t fit on the page.
\def\somelocalfloat % strc-flt.mkvi: was \def\somelocalfloat[#1]%
{\doglobal\increment\noflocalfloats
\savebox{localfloats}{\noflocalfloats}{\box\floatbox}}
\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
\starttext \showframe
\startfloatcombination [2*2]
\placefigure{alpha}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=1cm]}
\placefigure{beta} {\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=2cm]}
\placefigure{gamma}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=3cm]}
