I almost don't dare to ask, but... do you think that you might have now a little time to look at the placefigure[top,left] topic? The solution that you proposed some days ago unfortunately doesn't help much: \hangsidefloat[2] \placefigure[left] {}{} \dorecurse{3}{\input ward\par} What is needed is a kind of extension to placefigure[top] where figures are *still* placed top/bottom but *also* are surrounded by text (right or left). I am really sorry for being persistent, but the main reason for me to switch from LaTeX to ConTeXt was that I thought that some has much more possibilities in placing figures in ConTeXt than in LaTeX. And I was honestly surprised that this is not implemented yet, as it is such a frequently used feature - at least in the books of humanities, art history etc. it is very, very common. You said that it should not be too difficult - and it really would be a great feature for ConTeXt!! What do you think? Steffen P.S. Sorry, hope I don't annoy you too much... >>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)? >> ... > >2. should not be too difficult, i'll look into it > >Hans > >--
