Hi,
Is there a way in ConTeXt to place figures (and other floats) at the
very end of the document?
More specifically I would like to keep on having to placefigure code
at the relevant place in the text where I would normally typeset with
the option [here], but sometimes readers want all figures moved to the
end of the document and it would be handy if this could be done by
changing a keyword.
thanks, Peter
Interesting but very hard topic, I found a solution but it did only
work for a few pictures.
