Dear all.
I am having some trouble with figure placement in the margin. If you use the following code, please try to comment out first one and then both '\input knuth'. Somehow, the figure is not placed in the margin, but the center of the page, if a page breaks occurs close by. Is there a way to avoid that and have the figure always placed in the margin?
Thanks,
Andy

background: I started working on my module (caesar) again, since the ipad is supposed to render mathml now. That means, I could try the context epub output with formulas on an actual device (cp. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5321)

That was my first choice as well. But it does not play nice with margintext. Try putting \margintext{bla} directly after the chapter. stack=continue is somehow ignored. Also, the figure is moved all the way up, which is strange.

The both use two different mechanisms AFAIK, and there's no or not
much communication between them. Mixing both leads to overprinted
content.

That's intended. The margin texts stack up from the top to the
bottom. For figures this usually does makes sense since the figures
are referred to by number anyway.

So, can I modify the original code to work as intended?

That would even be preferred, if all marginals stack from the top down (http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20120529.093731.5306286a.en.html)
