Renaud�no bug. The problem (I am guessing) lies in the peculiarities of my source file, specifically, in the fact that I was trying to place a figure at the bottom of a page in a text that has lengthy footnotes before and after the figure, with \setupfootnotes [split=verystrict]. In any case, removing some of the text before the figure obviated the problem and gave a very fine result�though in that case there was no difference between the results obtained with the top, here, and bottom options of \placefigure, perhaps again because of the footnotes. As for the original file�the author would not have been pleased if I had excised some of his text�I simply indented the paragraph �manually� with \qquad (big indent) and plowed ahead.
this indentation around floats needs some improvement anyway; the current implementation is not watertight Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
