does commenting the no check line makes a differnece?
nocheck: top=2, margin=1 yes : top=1, margin=2 (default behaviour)
No difference. I get the default behavior in both cases, and both log files mention the renumbering: $ texexec 3.tex > somewhere $ mv 3.log 3-nocheck.log [comment out the nocheck line] $ texexec 3.tex > somewhereelse $ grep renumber 3{,-nocheck}.log 3.log:floatblocks : 1 renumbered / figure 1 => 2 3.log:floatblocks : 2 renumbered / figure 2 => 1 3-nocheck.log:floatblocks : 1 renumbered / figure 1 => 2 3-nocheck.log:floatblocks : 2 renumbered / figure 2 => 1 TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) context : ver: 2005.01.31 cont-en : ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2006.3.28 mes: english Maybe this context installation is too old for nocheck. On the other hand, it should complain then? -Sanjoy
