margintext and placefigure
Dear all. I am having some trouble with figure placement in the margin. If you use the following code, please try to comment out first one and then both '\input knuth'. Somehow, the figure is not placed in the margin, but the center of the page, if a page breaks occurs close by. Is there a way to avoid that and have the figure always placed in the margin? Thanks, Andy -- code starts --- \useMPlibrary[dum] % To get dummy figures \definepapersize[wissenschaft][width=170mm, height=240mm] \setuppapersize [wissenschaft] \setuplayout[topspace=40pt, header=0pt, headerdistance=0pt, height=560pt, footer=0pt, % backspace=42pt, leftmargin=0pt, width=280pt, rightmargindistance=20pt, rightmargin=100pt] \setupmargindata [margintext] [location=outer, width=100pt, stack=continue] \starttext % \chapter{One} \input tufte \input knuth \input knuth \section{Figures} % \margintext {\startplacefigure[ title={A small rectangle put in the margin.}] \externalfigure[dummy] \stopplacefigure} \input tufte \stoptext -- code ends --- background: I started working on my module (caesar) again, since the ipad is supposed to render mathml now. That means, I could try the context epub output with formulas on an actual device (cp. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5321)
That was my first choice as well. But it does not play nice with margintext. Try putting \margintext{bla} directly after the chapter. stack=continue is somehow ignored. Also, the figure is moved all the way up, which is strange. On Nov 11, 2012, at 8:52 PM, Marco Patzer wrote:

\startplacefigure [title=Foo, location=margin] \stopplacefigure

The both use two different mechanisms AFAIK, and there's no or not much communication between them. Mixing both leads to overprinted content.

That's intended. The margin texts stack up from the top to the bottom. For figures this usually does makes sense since the figures are referred to by number anyway. Marco

So, can I modify the original code to work as intended?

That would even be preferred, if all marginals stack from the top down (http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20120529.093731.5306286a.en.html) Andy
