Hello, <br><br>Following the example in the Columns manual, the following works with TeXLive 2011 but not with the current context suite beta (25 nov 2011): <br clear="all"><br>\definecolumnset[body][n=2]<br>\definecolumnsethsize{body}{1}{1}\One<br>
\definecolumnsethsize{body}{1}{2}\Two<br><br>\starttext<br>\startcolumnset[body]<br><br>\dorecurse{5}{\input tufte\par}<br> <br>\startbuffer<br>\placefigure[btlr]{A placeholder figure.}{\externalfigure[widefigure][width=\Two]}<br>
\stopbuffer<br><br>\dorecurse{5}{\input tufte\par}<br><br>\getbuffer<br><br>\stopcolumnset<br>\stoptext<br><br>Using the current beta, the figure only cleanly spans one column -- vertical space for the graphic and caption is reserved in one column;  in the other column, text flows on beneath the graphic, which is superimposed. <br>
<br>Using TeXLive 2011, the wide figure spans both columns correctly. <br><br>Thanks, <br>PPN<br>-- <br>Peter Park Nelson<br><a href="mailto:peter.park.nelson@gmail.com">peter.park.nelson@gmail.com</a><br>
