After reading the different manuals two questions still stay unanswered:

1. Is it true that a figure with text flowing around it (placefigure 
option left/right) has always to start with a beginning of a 
paragraph, so that it is not possible to place it in the middle of a 
text when it is mentioned there?

2. Isn't it possible to make a kind of combination between the 
placefigure options top and left (for example), so that a small 
picture can have text floating around it but it is placed at the top 
of the page (like big landscape formats would be with the top option)?

I hope I just missed something...


Thank you for any reply,

Steffen

1. indeed

2. should not be too difficult, i'll look into it

Hans


Great, thank you.

Then (2) could be a bit of a practical alternative to the missing of (1).

Hallo Hans,

did you already have some time
to have a look in question number 2?


I am asking because next week I could typeset a book
that has about 80 smaller figures which need to be included in the text -
textpages with one image top/left and another bottom/right (with text 
flowing around both).

And since your answer I have hope again that it is possible to be 
done in ConTeXt.
(Otherwise I'd have to use another program like FrameMaker which I 
try to avoid.)

Thank you very much,

Steffen

Hi Hans,

did you find something into it?
