Hallo,

it seems to me that text surrounding is ignored for floats inside columns,
see the code below. Am I right?

 \starttext
\startcolumns[n=2]
\placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[width=1cm,height=3ex]{!}}
\input knuth
\stopcolumns

yes; see columns.pdf for the many figure options in column sets

 I find myself with a similar problem with floats not working. Could I have a link to 'columns.pdf'. I have searched the website, but no joy.

what do you mean with 'not working', floats in column sets behave 
different, and accept 4 char keys keys like

   \placefigure[btrl]{test}{\framed{test}}

which means, try to flush from bottom to top and left to right

Apart from that, all caption related keys work as well [btrl,none]; in 
addition column sets have areas and so

I found columns.pdf, about columnsets. This is useful stuff, but text does not wrap around images. For example 

\placefigure[fxtb:1*1,none]{}{\externalfigure[letwin_101001][width=2.5cm, lines=7]}

drops an image in the right place, but it is floating in the centre of the column. There is really no way of getting text to wrap around an image, like I was expecting.

I reply to my own message because I have found columns.pdf in tex/sources/user, but this is meaningless to me. Are there some undocumented \placefigure switches I need to know about?
