Hello fellow ConTeXt users, I want to place figures left so that text wraps around them if they have less width than \textwidth. The figure captions should be aligned left (flushleft). What happens: The captions are all centered. Details: -------- If I use default={here,nonumber} instead of default={left,nonumber} in\setupfloat[figure][default=..., the captions are aligned left, just like they should. It does not matter if the text warps around the captioned image, the centered is present for all figure-captions, regardless of their width. Code demonstrating the behaviour: --------------------------------- \setupfloat[figure][default={left,nonumber}] \setupcaption[figure][align=flushleft] %prefix: section-wis 3 \starttext %here is some text... Lorem Ipsum.... \placefigure{my figure caption}{\externalfigure[images/image1.jpg]} %here is some text Lorem Ipsum.... \placefigure{my figure caption}{\externalfigure[images/image1.jpg]} Is there any way to left-place figures and have the captions flushleft aligned? (Ideally while keeping the content after starttext the same) addition: I tried with an comes-with-Ubuntu-14.04 and a LiveTex2015 Version of ConTeXt, no difference in behavior. Kind Regards, Jan PS.: Previously posted this on tex.stackexchange too (http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/289752/if-figures-are-placed-left-lef...), but without answers so far.

What happens is that a caption < width kicks in. % put this on cont=-new.mkiv \unprotect \def\strc_floats_prepare_side_caption_fit {\ifdim\wd\b_strc_floats_caption>\wd\b_strc_floats_content\relax \setbox\b_strc_floats_caption\vbox {\forgetall % needed? \hsize\wd\b_strc_floats_content \strc_floats_make_complete_caption}% \else \setbox\b_strc_floats_caption\hpack {\strc_floats_make_complete_caption}% \fi} \protect % then you can do this (maybe Wolfgang can check the logic too): \starttext \setupfloat[figure][default={left,nonumber}] \placefigure{my figure caption my figure caption}{\framed[width=4cm,height=1cm]{}} \input tufte \placefigure{my figure caption} {\framed[width=4cm,height=1cm]{}} \input tufte \setupfloat[figure][location=left] \placefigure{my figure caption my figure caption}{\framed[width=4cm,height=1cm]{}} \input tufte \placefigure{my figure caption} {\framed[width=4cm,height=1cm]{}} \input tufte \stoptext don't use flushleft as that won't work ok for location

It does not matter if the text warps around the captioned image, the centered is present for all figure-captions, regardless of their width.
Code demonstrating the behaviour: ---------------------------------
\setupfloat[figure][default={left,nonumber}]
\setupcaption[figure][align=flushleft] %prefix: section-wis 3
\starttext
%here is some text... Lorem Ipsum....
\placefigure{my figure caption}{\externalfigure[images/image1.jpg]}
%here is some text Lorem Ipsum.... \placefigure{my figure caption}{\externalfigure[images/image1.jpg]}
Is there any way to left-place figures and have the captions flushleft aligned? (Ideally while keeping the content after starttext the same)
addition: I tried with an comes-with-Ubuntu-14.04 and a LiveTex2015 Version of ConTeXt, no difference in behavior.

But we already have a way to get around that: width=max \setupfloat[figure][default={left,nonumber}] \setupcaption[figure][align=flushleft, width=max] \starttext \placefigure{my figure caption a really long caption}{\externalfigure[images/image1.jpg]} \input knuth \placefigure{my figure caption}{\externalfigure[images/image1.jpg]} \input tufte \stoptext Aditya

indeed, you're right, no need to change something (i'll add an example to the test suite) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
