Hi,

The last hour I fixed a couple of things that came up during the recent dante/gutenberg tex conferences as well as added the table thingies discussed here. (for the split lovers: there was a small bug in the patch i sent earlier; actually the patch broke some of my existing files -)

the main as well as the beta files have been upgraded

Hi Hans, that's good news. I almost don't dare to ask, but... do you think that you might have now a little time to look at the placefigure[top,left] topic? The solution that you proposed some days ago unfortunately doesn't help much: \hangsidefloat[2] \placefigure[left] {}{} \dorecurse{3}{\input ward\par} What is needed is a kind of extension to placefigure[top] where figures are *still* placed top/bottom but *also* are surrounded by text (right or left). I am really sorry for being persistent, but the main reason for me to switch from LaTeX to ConTeXt was that I thought that some has much more possibilities in placing figures in ConTeXt than in LaTeX. And I was honestly surprised that this is not implemented yet, as it is such a frequently used feature - at least in the books of humanities, art history etc. it is very, very common. You said that it should not be too difficult - and it really would be a great feature for ConTeXt!! What do you think? Steffen P.S. Sorry, hope I don't annoy you too much...

2. Isn't it possible to make a kind of combination between the placefigure options top and left (for example), so that a small picture can have text floating around it but it is placed at the top of the page (like big landscape formats would be with the top option)?

...

2. should not be too difficult, i'll look into it
