Hi, Is there a way to have a fullwith topfigure with caption in the margin so that the figure does not interfere with the text? My try is %%%%%%% \setuplayout[ rightmargin=2in, rightmargindistance=0.375in, width=4.125in, ] \showframe \definecolor [transparentred] [r=1,t=.5,a=1] \definefloat[topfigure][topfigures][figure] \setupfloat[topfigure][ default={margin}, location=flushleft, maxwidth=6.5in, ] \setupcaption[topfigure][ number=no, location=bottom, style={\switchtobodyfont[8bp]}, ] \starttext \dorecurse{4}{\samplefile{knuth}} \startplacetopfigure[title={\samplefile{ward}}] \blackrule[width=6.5in,height=2in,color=transparentred] \stopplacetopfigure \samplefile{knuth} \stoptext %%%%%% but, as one can see on page two, the text from the previous page just continues under the image. I want the "larg-scale user..." to start below the image. It would be good if it was also possible to configure the distance between the image and the text. (I guess one option would be to not use a margin figure, and use default=top, but then I don't know how to handle the caption.) /Mikael

\definecolor [transparentred] [r=1,t=.5,a=1]
\definefloat[topfigure][topfigures][figure]

\setupcaption[topfigure][ number=no, location=bottom, style={\switchtobodyfont[8bp]}, ] \starttext \dorecurse{4}{\samplefile{knuth}}
\startplacetopfigure[title={\samplefile{ward}}] \blackrule[width=6.5in,height=2in,color=transparentred] \stopplacetopfigure
\samplefile{knuth} \stoptext %%%%%%
but, as one can see on page two, the text from the previous page just continues under the image. I want the "larg-scale user..." to start below the image. It would be good if it was also possible to configure the distance between the image and the text.

An update: I am now able to get something closer to what I want. The figure is where I want it, the caption is where I want it. The code might be bad and there might be better ways to do it. For example, I could not find how to use the title text but only the subtitle in the figure. The spacing is also a bit manual in the \TopFigureCaption command. Any comments for improvements (or completely different solutions) are very welcome. /Mikael \setuplayout[ rightmargin=2in, rightmargindistance=0.375in, width=4.125in, ] \showframe \definecolor [transparentred] [r=1,t=.5,a=1] \definefloat[topfigure][topfigures][figure] \setupfloat[topfigure][ default={top,none}, location=flushright, maxwidth=6.5in, ] \setupcaption[topfigure][ number=no, ] \define\TopFigureCaption{% \blank[-line,force,overlay] \vsmash{% \blank[line] \framed[align=flushright,width=6.5in,frame=off,offset=overlay]{% \startframedtext[ width=\rightmarginwidth, frame=off, offset=overlay, style={\switchtobodyfont[8bp]}, align=flushleft, ]\floatuserdataparameter{subtitle} \stopframedtext}}} \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\samplefile{knuth}} \startplacetopfigure[title=This is the title][subtitle={\samplefile{ward}}] \blackrule[width=6.5in,height=2in,color=transparentred] \TopFigureCaption \stopplacetopfigure \dorecurse{3}{\samplefile{knuth}} \startplacetopfigure[title=This is the title][subtitle={\samplefile{ward}}] \blackrule[width=6.5in,height=2in,color=transparentred] \TopFigureCaption \stopplacetopfigure \stoptext
