If it’s not possible, I must redo the whole layout in InDesign. I’d like to avoid that (footnotes!).

Ahoi,

in my current project I must include a bunch of illustrations in my layout, and the text should flow around their irregular shapes (side placement in single text column only). I got the pictures as TIFFs with alpha channel, but of course I can change that.

I’m quite sure I remember that it was possible to let text flow around shapes somehow, but I can’t find documentation or a sample. I’d be thankful for hints.

The metafun manual should have a few examples.

See https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/32308/323 which is based on an example in the metafun manual. Aditya

For LaTeX there is a tool called fig2sty which can take an XFig figure and transform it into a LaTeX sty file. Maybe you could adapt it to ConTeXt. https://www.ctan.org/pkg/fig2sty On 6/02/19 9:38 AM, Henning Hraban Ramm wrote:
