In the following small example, two squares are cut out of the long paragraph. The first is where the external figure belongs and goes, so no problem with that. But the second removed square is after the displayed equation, and it shouldn't be removed. If I comment out the formula, then the paragraph shape is fine. If I make add a \placeformula before the \startformula, then the equation number goes where it should (below the right edge of the figure), but the area below it is still whitespace. Is it a bug or is there an option to make startformula not interfere with the paragraph shape calculation? I'm using context version: 2006.08.08 21:51, and I found the same problem just now on the live ConTeXt. \starttext \placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[dummy]} \input tufte \startformula A = a^\alpha b^\beta, \stopformula \input tufte \input tufte \stoptext -Sanjoy
