Page break with placement of a figure at the bottom of the page
Hi, I find that for some time (but maybe the problem comes from me !), the placement of a figure at the bottom of the page causes a page break when it seems to me that there is enough space, which poses some problems in the pagination of my documents. Thanks.

Hi Fabrice, your figure requires about 7¼ lines (one line before, six for the image itself, and some extra space after it). Your layout for the first page only allows 43 lines and sample text ends on line 37. Replace \showframe with \showgrid and you will see that there might be not enough space to fit the image in the first page. Add "bottomspace=7.25mm" to the layout for the first page and the image will fit in the first page. Just in case it might help, Pablo

Or Pablo's answer shown another way... change the end of the example to: \starttext \dorecurse{11}{\input ward} \placerecipe{}{\externalfigure[dum]} \dorecurse{5}{\input ward} %% extra \stoptext and the extra text shows how much space the image requires. Holding a ruler up to the screen you can see that it won't fit. The problem seems to be that the image is reserving space for a caption even though there isn't a caption. A work-around is to change \setupfloat to the following: \setupfloat [recipe] [default={right,none,high}] and then the image fits as you want it to. — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK
