Both figures are in the margin, but the first and second paragraphs have a large gap between them with figure 1 in the margin, beside the gap. My first theory was that the margin figure requires the whitespace (unlikely, I know). But that theory didn't last long: If I restore the commented-out '\input knuth' line, then the layout has no gaps. ====================================================================== \useMPlibrary[dum] \starttext \input tufte \placefigure[rightmargin]{first}{\externalfigure[dummy]} \par %\input knuth \placefigure[rightmargin]{third}{\externalfigure[dummy]} \par \input knuth \stoptext ====================================================================== -Sanjoy `A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves.' - Bertrand de Jouvenal
