I am trying to upgrade an existing document from using texexec and pdftex to context and luatex. Unfortunately, the document relies pretty heavily on columns (using \startcolumns[n=2,tolerant=verytolerant]) and the idea that figures that are too wide to place in a column float to the top of the next page. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case with the current minimals. The following example works fine for texexec (even if I comment out the \startpostponing \stoppostponing code). The figure is placed (centered) at the top of page 2. With MKIV, however, the figure stays in the first column and bleeds over into the second column (the postponing code does change it to the next page, but it doesn't force it out of the column). --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \enableregime[utf-8] \starttext \startcolumns \chapter[chap:testing]{Testing} \startcolumns[n=2, tolerant=verytolerant] \input knuth %\startpostponing \placefigure [center][fig:foo] {none} {\externalfigure[foo][] [width=1.5\textwidth]} %\stoppostponing \input tufte \input knuth \input tufte \input knuth \input tufte \stopcolumns \stoptext--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I am using the Context minimal distribution (on Linux) and context reports that the current version as: current version: 2011.06.29 09:57 It is quite likely that I am simply doing this wrong, but I have read: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns and it appears to support what I am trying to do. I have experimented a bit with columnsets, but they appear to be overkill for my use. Then again, I am probably doing it wrong. Any advice would be appreciated. Jason Earl
