Re: outer floats on doublesided pages UNSOLVED

[Tim Steenvoorden <tim.steenvoorden@gmail.com>]

Hi Robert,

As far as I know this is not (yet) possible in MkIV. Depends on Hans
if he adds it. See the conversation "Placefigure inner/outer" from
August. (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/83680/focus=83684)

@Hans/Wolfgang: any idea it will be added in the (near) future?

Cheers,
Tim

This can be obtained by specifying default=left, or default=right, only I need the figures to protrude into the (outer) margin. This for some reason does not work under mkiv.
