Hi, I’d like to have a small poem beside my text. My approach doesn’t work, with or without \framed:

Since I need this only once, I thought I don’t need to define or setup my own float.

\setupfloat inherits from \setupframed, but the parameters width, style and background(color) don’t work. Aren’t they supposed to work in \startplacefloat?

How can I suppress the caption? ("none" is supposed to work with \placefloat, but at least doesn’t in \startplacefloat) The first argument of \startplacefloat takes the name of the float instance, e.g. figure (\startplacefloat [figure]) and the second argument a limited list of keys. All other options like the background color have to be set with \setupfloat and \setupcation. With or without framed, vbox and lines didn’t change much. (Of course \framed adds a frame, but the text isn’t within). You have to put the poem in a framed or framedtext environment with the setting width=fit. There is no way to to do this with the float environment alone.

Thank you! The following works, except: - There’s too much space (2 lines?) within the frame before the poem. - I’d like to insert some space below the float, spaceafter doesn’t work. \definefloat[poem] \setupfloat[poem][ location=left, % doesn’t work width=0.33\textwidth, background=color,backgroundcolor=cyan, spaceafter=1em, % doesn’t work ] \setupcaption[poem][ location=none, number=no, ] \starttext \dorecurse{2}{\input knuth} \startplacefloat[poem][location=left,]% \framedtext[ frame=off, width=fit, style=\tt, %background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow, ]{% \startlines% lichtung manche meinen lechts und rinks kann man nicht velwechsern. werch ein illtum! \wordright{ernst jandl} \stoplines } \stopplacefloat \dorecurse{2}{\input knuth} \stoptext Grüßlinge, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Ah, I didn’t expect \startframedtext to behave differently than \framedtext.

...

- I’d like to insert some space below the float, spaceafter doesn’t work. You nee sidespacebefore/after but you can only set it for *all* floats.

Not good, but I’ll just setup my special case in a group. Thank you again & all the best, Hraban
