Hello, all
Maybe this problem has been already addressed before, but I didn't find anything about it in contextgarden and ML archives. So, here you are.
I have a document laid out in two columns, and some wide tables laid out using Natural Tables syntax. These tables are then placed on the document this way:
\placetable[top][table-1020]{Intersystem Travel Times}{\getbuffer[tablebuffer-id]}
When I compile my files using XeTeX engine, the table is placed at the top of the page, spanning two columns. When I use the LuaTeX engine, the table is placed in the middle of a column and cut off by its page margin or overwritten by the neighbouring column text.
I define column sections by using the \startcolumns...\stopcolumns directives. Do I have to switch to columnsets? Can be a problem of mkiv, it does not work even with \stopcolumns \placetable[top][t-1020]{Intersystem Travel Times}{\getbuffer[ta-1020]}
\startcolumns \dorecurse{2}{\input zapf} \dorecurse{2}{\input tufte} \dorecurse{2}{\input zapf} \dorecurse{2}{\input tufte} \stopcolumns \stoptext It works in mkii with # texexec floats.tex -- luigi
