Columnsets provide you the possibility to place column spanning pictures:
Thank you for the advice. I was hoping to avoid having to learn about columnsets, but I suppose learning is good. Any hints on getting columnsets and footnotes to play nicely? Here's an example of how I would normally use footnotes, but the footnote is obscured by the text. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \definecolumnset[Doublecoltext][n=2,balance=no] \setupcolumnset[Doublecoltext][2][distance=5mm] \starttext \chapter[chap:testing]{Testing} \startcolumnset[Doublecoltext] This is a short paragraph. I think it should have a footnote.\footnote{And so it shall! Unfortunately you won't be able to see it because it is covered up with the text in the columnsets.} \input knuth %\startpostponing \placefigure [btlr][fig:foo] {none} {\externalfigure[mill][width=1.5\textwidth,height=5cm]} %\stoppostponing \input tufte \input knuth \input tufte \input knuth \input tufte \stopcolumnset \stoptext --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Once again, I am sorry if my question is naive. I am working through the examples in the Columnset manual to try and wrap my head around them, but it is becoming pretty clear to me that it is a tool for layout designers far more accomplished than I am.
