Re: 2 basic questions on placefigure options

[Steffen Wolfrum <xmailings@estfiles.de>]

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

1. indeed

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

Great, thank you.

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