caption in margin

caption in margin

[eidenbenz]

I want to place the caption of floats in the margin. 
I thought the locationparameter of setupcaption can be used to do this. 
But it doesnt work.

What am I missing? Thanks Michael


\useMPlibrary[dum]

\starttext

\showframe

\setupcaption [figure][]
\placefloat[][]{default}{\externalfigure[dummy][]}

\setupcaption [figure][location=inner]
\placefloat[][]{inner}{\externalfigure[dummy][]}

\setupcaption [figure][location=outer]
\placefloat[][]{outer}{\externalfigure[dummy][]}

\setupcaption [figure][location=innermargin]
\placefloat[][]{innermargin}{\externalfigure[dummy][]}

\setupcaption [figure][location=outermargin]
\placefloat[][]{outermargin}{\externalfigure[dummy][]}

\setupcaption [figure][location=leftmargin]
\placefloat[][]{leftmargin}{\externalfigure[dummy][]}

\setupcaption [figure][location=rightmargin]
\placefloat[][]{rightmargin}{\externalfigure[dummy][]}

\setupcaption [figure][location=lefthanging]
\placefloat[][]{lefthanging}{\externalfigure[dummy][]}

\setupcaption [figure][location=righthanging]
\placefloat[][]{righthanging}{\externalfigure[dummy][]}

\setupcaption [figure][location=hang]
\placefloat[][]{hang}{\externalfigure[dummy][]}

\stoptext

Re: caption in margin

[Michael Eidenbenz]

self-answering (for the record)

rightmargin / leftmargin has to be used in combination with an additional position keyword (low, middle, key), otherwise the caption is missing. 
I think a default position (low) would be nice in this case.

Best Michael

this works:

\useMPlibrary[dum]

\starttext

\showframe

\setupcaption [figure][]
\placefloat[][]{default}{\externalfigure[dummy][]}

\setupcaption [figure][location={rightmargin,low}]
\placefloat[][]{right}{\externalfigure[dummy][]}
