Dear Hans and Taco, Thanks for the answers. I'll read "details.pdf" again... I placed the pdf file of one unfinished chapter on www.ogbasel.ch/ book.html (3.5 MB). Note that Fig. 3.12 happens to be the way I want it. Why this particular figure chose to behave I don't know, putting nothing after \placefigure[] and most options [left,right,inner etc.) don't make a difference. The setuparea contains: %Textfigures (on the inside up to 0.5/textwidth) \setupfloat[figure][criterium=0.5\textwidth,default=inner] \setupcaption[figure][style=\ssx] I tried to add a second criterium (bigger than \textwidth), but not surprisingly my inventions and guesses weren't successful. Interventions within the text itself (\placefigure[....] and \setupfloat[figure][....]) also didn't work. Lectures start this week, and I want to distribute some chapters as handouts in order to get feedback. This explains my bothering you with another question: The subsection heads should be capitals. Setting textstyle=cap doesn't do anything. Setting style=cap gives an error (see end of message). style=slanted works, commands (\cap, \kap) don't work. \cap {some text} used in the text works. This is how I'm setting up the heads: \def\BookchapterCommand#1#2{\framed[frame=off,rightframe=on]{#1\space} \framed[frame=off]{\space#2}} \setuphead[chapter][command=\BookchapterCommand,page=right] \setuphead[subsection][style=cap (THIS IS WHERE I'M HAVING PROBLEMS),number=no] \setuphead[subsubsection][style=slanted,number=no,after=\nowhitespace] Thanks a lot, Jörg.
