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

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).

hm, you are persistent -)
\starttext
\hangsidefloat[2] \placefigure[left] {}{} \dorecurse{3}{\input ward\par}
\hangsidefloat[2] \placefigure[right]{}{} \dorecurse{3}{\input ward\par}
\stoptext
i have to think about some way to feed such things into \place... directly,
no time now

PS. unzip the new.zip file in .../base and regenerate the format
PS. quite untested on special cases, so only use it in controlled situations

* 2 basic questions on placefigure options

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
