width of floats

width of floats

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Ahoi,
I wonder how I can limit the width of a custom float, neither "width" nor "maxwidth" seems to have any effect:


\definefloat[Beispiel][Beispiele]
\setupfloat[Beispiel][
    %width=36mm,
    maxwidth=.6\textwidth,
    offset=1em,
    background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow,
]
\setupcaption[Beispiel][
    location=none,number=no
]

\starttext

\input knuth

\startplaceBeispiel
\input tufte
\stopplaceBeispiel

\input knuth

\stoptext


While it’s nice that the "Beispiel" paragraphs stays the same width as the main text, even with "offset", I’d like to limit the whole box to the textwidth (or any other measure).



Greetlings, Hraban

Hi Hraban,

I’m not sure wheter it might be a bug in width and maxwith not working,
but the following seems to work:

    \definefloat[Beispiel][Beispiele]
    \setupfloat[Beispiel][
        width=36mm,
        %~ maxwidth=.6\textwidth,
        offset=1em,
        background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow,
        inner=\hsize.95\textwidth %not very orthodox, anyway
    ]
    \setupcaption[Beispiel][
        location=none,number=no
    ]

    \starttext

    \input knuth

    \startplaceBeispiel
    \input tufte
    \stopplaceBeispiel

    \input knuth

    \stoptext

Just in case it helps,

Pablo
