margintext and floats in the margin

29 Jan 2020

      Hi,

Is it possible to put some short notes in the margin, together with a float?
Below is an example, which puts the float on top of the text in the margin.
The option « stack=yes » works fine for the margintext when there is no float, but it does not seems to be an option which puts the figure and margintext in a sort of stack.

Thanks for any advice: Otared K.

% begin margintext-float.tex
\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\setuplayout[
	width=120mm,
	leftmargin=25mm,rightmargin=50mm]

\setupmargindata[margintext]
	[align=raggedright,
	stack=yes,
	location=outer,
	style={\rm}]

\showframe
\startbuffer[sine]
	numeric u ; u = 5mm ;
	draw function (1,"x","1.5*sin(x)",0,710/113,.01) scaled u 
	withcolor transparent(1,.5,darkblue) 
	withpen pencircle scaled 2pt ;
\stopbuffer

\starttext

This is some text.\margintext{This is a remark in the margin.}
This is some more text.\margintext{This text is also in the margin.}
\startplacefigure[location=outermargin,number=no]
\scale[width=\rightmarginwidth]{\processMPbuffer[sine]}
\stopplacefigure

\stoptext
% end margintext-float.tex
