I guess, I do not understand the relation completely. Please compare the following
-- startcode --
\starttext % \chapter{One} \input tufte \placefigure[margin,none]{}{Let's put some text of at least two lines.} \placefigure[none,margin]{}{Let's put some text of at least two lines.} \input tufte \stoptext
-- stopcode --
The first one works as intended, the second one does not. Also, I cannot figure out the equivalent new syntax.
\placefigure[margin,none]{}{Let's put some text of at least two lines.}
\startplacefigure [location={margin, none}] Let's put some text of at least two lines. \stopplacefigure
\placefigure[none,margin]{}{Let's put some text of at least two lines.}
\startplacefigure [location={none, margin}] Let's put some text of at least two lines. \stopplacefigure
I tried 'caption=none' and 'location=none'.
location=none works here: \startplacefigure [location=none] Let's put some text of at least two lines. \stopplacefigure
But even if the latter one would work, having a caption (or not) and placing the figure on the page are two different things?
The first argument of `location` determines the location of the figure, the second one the location of the caption. If only one argument is provided, it is used for both. So the following statements have the same effect. \startplacefigure [location={none, none}] Let's put some text of at least two lines. \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure [location=none] Let's put some text of at least two lines. \stopplacefigure That's the reason why the figure in your second example is not placed in the margin.
