margintext and placefigure

[Andy Thomas <andythomas@web.de>]

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)
