Hi to all,
I guess it's something obvious but...
I was taking a look at the nice cows on p.298 cont-eni:
I cannot understand why in compiling this code "test" is always one
line down and never on the same line, just on quarter's side. Quarter
is a small figure, and I tested with other small figures, both in pdf
and png.
\starttext
\hbox {\externalfigure[quarter]} test
\stoptext
Many thanks!

Only when it sees the 't' from test does it start the next paragraph. To make the box part of the paragraph, TeX has to be told to enter horizontal mode first. That is done by adding \dontleavehmode: \starttext \dontleavehmode \hbox {\externalfigure[quarter]} test \stoptext Cheers, Taco ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
