OK, now it works.

\hangsidefloat[2] \placefigure[left] {}{} \dorecurse{3}{\input ward\par}
\hangsidefloat[2] \placefigure[right]{}{} \dorecurse{3}{\input ward\par}

As far as I understood I have to count lines, right?


My need is, for a huge amount of images, to say somthing like 
\placefigure[top,left] or \placefigure[bottom,right]
regardless how many line befor/after this command may be - just like 
\placefigure[top]. To make sure the image still is at the top/bottom 
of a page even iv some changes in the text have to be made.

And the only way to simlate this is by \hangsidefloat[x] with x being 
the lines  above the image.

There is no faster way, to just say
place it left/right at the top or bottom of the textarea?


The command \placefigure[top] looks so clear - there is no way to add 
a sidefloat behaviour for small figures, text floating around them?
