Hello,

Sorry for dummy question, but why there is always no blank line BEFORE, but there exists a blank line AFTER the \externalfigure? Even leaving a blank paragraph before and omitting it after the figure doesn't change anything. :(

What is I want the opposite -- a blank line before and tight spacing after?

Best, Vyatcheslav

Hi Vyatcheslav, there is currently no option AFAIK to control the space before a figure but you can define your own command to include your figures. A simple one is: \def\myfigure {\blank \dodoubleempty\externalfigure} and you it in the following way: \myfigure[test-1] \myfigure[test-2][width=3cm] The blank line is more a problem with the low level beviour of TeX as seen in my next example. \showgrid \starttext text \ruledvbox to 2cm{\hsize8cm Text} text \stoptext It has something to do with the lineheight of text.
