\starttext \setupindenting[yes, big, always] \input knuth \placefigure{...}{% \externalfigure[cow][frame=on, width=.6666\textwidth]% }% \input knuth \stoptext With the code above, you will notice that after the figure is placed, the next paragraph no longer gets an indent. My copy editor has warned that because my target audience is children, this will confuse them, so I need to make sure the start of a new paragraph always has an indent. I tried adding the 'always' detail to \setupindenting, see above, but that didn't help. What setting will make sure the start of my paragraph always gets an indent? Note, in my passage, I've marked every single paragraph with \startparagraph and \stopparagraph. --Joel
