Hi, I want to place my figures flush right, so that they are aligned with the right border of my text area. Captions should be in the right margin, flush left, ragged right. It is a one-sided document. I've tried \setupfloats[ location=right] \setupcaptions[ location=rightmargin, align=flushleft, headstyle=\tfx, style=\tfx] \usemodule[tikz] \starttext \placefigure{Test figure caption with a pretty long text which might eventually require a line break.}{ \starttikzpicture \draw (0,0) rectangle (2,2); \stoptikzpicture } \stoptext and the figure is placed left, and no caption is shown. When I remove location=rightmargin, the caption is visible. Other settings I've tried: outermargin - invisible righthanging - invisible right - caption is typeset in the gap between text and margin I found this old thread: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20090707.065101.8175a86c.en.html, but it is not very enlightening. I'm taking the options from http://pmrb.free.fr/contextref.pdf. My ConTeXt version is 2011.06.11. How can I place figures flush right? How can I place the captions in the right margin? Regards Christoph

Considering the overall activity on the list since I posted the question, can I assume that these options simply have not been implemented yet? Regards Christoph

Hello Hans, I now checked details.pdf, but I can only find (many!) placement options for placing figures - not for the captions. I also noticed that the wiki command reference does _not_ list the following options for \setupcaptions: left middle right lefthanging righthanging leftmargin rightmargin innermargin outermargin They _are_ included in the pdf command reference (ref-en.pdf) dated June 13, 2011. Regards Christoph

This won’t help because it’s ConTeXt’s fault. This is a quick fix for strc-flt.mkiv but the leftmargin etc. keys are then ignored when the caption is placed in the margin. %\def\locatefloatbox % {\alignstrutmode\zerocount % \shiftalignedline % {\floatparameter\c!leftmargin }{\floatparameter\c!rightmargin}% % {\floatparameter\c!innermargin}{\floatparameter\c!outermargin}% % \alignedline{\floatparameter\c!location}\v!middle} \def\locatefloatbox {\alignstrutmode\zerocount \doifnotcommon{\floatcaptionparameter\c!location}{\v!outermargin,\v!innermargin,\v!leftmargin,\v!rightmargin} {\shiftalignedline {\floatparameter\c!leftmargin }{\floatparameter\c!rightmargin}% {\floatparameter\c!innermargin}{\floatparameter\c!outermargin}}% \alignedline{\floatparameter\c!location}\v!middle} The reason why the caption disappears is that you put it in \everyrightofalignedline and the content is replaced with the rightmargin skip in the \shiftalignedline command.

Thank you Wolfgang, I'll try this as soon as I have access to my ConTeXt. Christoph

Your solution doesn't seems to work, I still don't see a caption anywhere when using location=rightmargin. When I inserted your fix I stumbled upon the fact that there is \def\locatebcaptionbox below \def\locatefloatbox. You provided a fix for \locatefloatbox, but shouldn't it be for \locatecaptionbox? I have no clues about the internals of ConTeXt, but I tried the following: \def\locatecaptionbox {\alignstrutmode\zerocount \doifnotcommon{\floatcaptionparameter\c!location}{\v!outermargin,\v!innermargin,\v!leftmargin,\v!rightmargin} {\shiftalignedline {\floatcaptionparameter\c!leftmargin }{\floatcaptionparameter\c!rightmargin}% {\floatcaptionparameter\c!innermargin}{\floatcaptionparameter\c!outermargin}}% \alignedline{\floatparameter\c!location}\v!middle} Note that I just translated your fix to \locatecaptionbox. At least it didn't throw an error!

My attempt at understanding that explanation: The caption is placed to the right of aligned line (because it is supposed to got into the margin?), and for all things that are placed that way, \everyrightofalignedline is called. And that macro replaces the caption with a skip, but should instead skip across the margin skip and then place the caption? Regards Christoph

No, my fix was correct but it’s not a final solution because it disables the “leftmargin” and “rightmargin” keys when you place the caption in the margin. Wolfgang

In that case I don't understand how I can place a caption in the margin. Should the MWE I included in my first post work now, or not? Regards Christoph

Hans included the patch in the core, update your installation in this will work: \setuplayout [width=11cm, rightmargin=6cm] \setupcaption [figure] [width=\rightmarginwidth, location={rightmargin,high}] \starttext \placefigure{\input ward }{\externalfigure[cow]} \stoptext You can control the vertical position of the caption with the three values “high”, “low” and “middle” for the location key.

Thank you very much! The importance of explicitly setting the caption width was not obvious to me. Regards Christoph
