creating and placing floats with both text and graphics

creating and placing floats with both text and graphics

[Hamid Kamrani]

Is it possible to create and place a float in ConTeXt containing both
text and graphics?

In the following sample code a framedtext is created containing a
figuretext but when placing the framedtext as a float on a doublesided
page layout the placement at bottom of the odd page has extra white
spaces below the box and is completely off on the even page (does not
obey the "location=inner" directive. Please advise.

\showframe \showgrid
\setupcolors[state=start]
\enableregime[mac]
\setuplayout[height=10.25in,width=4.75in,margin=2.625in,backspace=.5in,topspace=.75in,header=.25in,footer=.25in,location=middle]

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,align=broad,location=]
\setuppapersize[US Letter][US Letter]
\setupbodyfont[rm,10pt]

\starttext

\startbuffer[MyFloat]
\startframedtext[][margin=yes,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.8,width=\dimexpr(\makeupwidth+\marginwidth+\rightmargindistance)]
 {\definedfont[Regular sa 3]  \framed[frame=off,bottomframe=on,strut=no]{Knuth}}
