Dear Mikael, thanks for your reply! Indeed, one has to add this second specifier, but only middle produces a sensible result. Both top and bottom override the outermargin, so there is probably something wrong. Regarding \setupfloatcaption and \setupcation, there is no difference. In base/mkiv/strc-flt.mkvi you can find the following definitions: \let\setupcaption \setupfloatcaption \let\setupcaptions\setupfloatcaption Cheers, Henri On 08/31/2016 09:59 AM, Mikael P.

Dear list,

I was trying to place float captions in the margin, which according to setup-en.pdf should work with location=outermargin, but it doesn't. The MWE below reproduces this on TL 2016 and on http://live.contextgarden.net/. Please fix.

Cheers, Henri

\setupfloatcaption [figure] [location=outermargin]

\starttext

\placefigure [top] {The famous dutch cow!} {\externalfigure[cow]}

I have never noticed the setup \setupfloatcaption before, but I think you have to add a top/middle/bottom or so to the outermargin, like

\setupfloatcaption[figure][location={outermargin,middle}] \starttext

\placefigure [top] {The famous dutch cow!} {\externalfigure[cow]} \stoptext

Another option might be to use \setupcaption (somebody could perhaps tell the difference between \setupfloatcaption and \setupcaption?)

\setupcaption[figure][ location={outermargin,middle}, align=flushleft, width=\marginwidth, ]

\starttext \showframe%just to show where it ends up

\placefigure [top] {The famous dutch cow!} {\externalfigure[cow]}

\stoptext
