I've recently updated my standalone (32-bit Linux) ConTeXT from 2011.02.25 to 2011.09.20, and I'm now having some trouble with float placement. I'm using MkIV. I'm trying to have figures protruding into the outer margins with a double-sided layout, as described here: ...
Does anyone have any ideas or insights?
Should be fixed in the next beta.
Many thanks! I confirm that my original example works as expected with ConTeXt 2011.10.01. However, for certain files (including my dissertation) ConTeXt stops with the error ‘Argument of \rootfloatparameter has an extra }’. Here's a minimal example which causes the problem: \starttext \dorecurse{3}{ \placefigure[]{}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf]} \input knuth \placefigure[]{}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf]} } \stoptext The example works if I comment out any of the three lines in the \dorecurse, or if I change \dorecurse{3} to \dorecurse{2}. The example also fails with 2011.09.20, but works with 2011.02.25. Pont
