lmtx-20210118 | Corruption with rotated floats
List members, I've found that recent versions of LMTX seem to have broken table and figure floats using rotation. Lmtx-20210118 with for example: \placetable[here,90] results in the trashing of all subsequent body text in the PDF. This can be corrected with something such as: \placetable[here] ... \framed[orientation=90] (although one looses the ability to rotate the title of the table). The last really stable version of LMTX, which I'm finding that I'm constantly returning to as my default, is lmtx-20200920. This error has been occurring for some time now, and unfortunately, while I would like to keep up the recent releases of LMTX, it is essential that I should be able to rotate tables and images. Does anyone know of a fix.

Richard, a minimal sample with images would read: \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \starttext \placefigure[90, here]{Rotated sample}{\externalfigure[hacker.jpg]} \input zapf \stoptext I don’t know why, but both MkIV and current latest (LMTX from 2021.01.22 09:41) place the rotated figure on a different page (with 90 and 270). LMTX misplaces next paragraph on next page with both 90 and 270. To show the issues with tables, a minimal sample would help. I’m afraid I don’t have any experience rotating tables.

Many thanks for the fast fix, Hans. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
I've just updated the system to LMTX-20210201 and have found that this
has been resolved -- \placetable[here,90] is back again! Thank you
very
much for this.
Best, Richard
