While I was reading 'In the Details' to learn more about grid- typesetting, I could not comprehend the examples with grid={broad,...}.

Then in section 1.8 I read that grid=line should be a shortcut for grid={broad,high,depth}.

Section 1.8 deals \exclusively with \externalfigure. Apparently the grid option for sectioning commands is handled differently.

In my version of 'In the Details', dated 2002 chapter 1 deals with 'Snapping section heads' and section 1.8 is titled 'Snapping around (broad,high,depth).' Is there a newer variant of that manual?

the grid options as discussed with sections, are the ones that are taken care of by the \snaptogrid macro; the grid key in externalfigure is not related to that, it relates to scaling, as in \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \setupcaptions[style=smallbodyfont,location=grid,inbetween=] \defineexternalfigure[enkel] [width=10cm,frame=on,grid=depth] \defineexternalfigure[dubbel][width=10cm,frame=on,grid=depth] \starttext test \placefigure{} {\externalfigure[t:/sources/cow.pdf][frame=on,grid=yes]} test \page test \placefigure{\input zapf\relax}{\externalfigure[t:/sources/cow.pdf][frame=on,grid=yes]} test \page test \placefigure{} {\externalfigure[t:/sources/cow.pdf][enkel]} test \page test \placefigure{\input zapf\relax}{\externalfigure[t:/sources/cow.pdf][enkel]} test \page \stoptext i.e. the grid option determins which way a height snaps (or is rounded); hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
