Hallo Hans, did you already have some time to have a look in question number 2? I am asking because next week I could typeset a book that has about 80 smaller figures which need to be included in the text - textpages with one image top/left and another bottom/right (with text flowing around both). And since your answer I have hope again that it is possible to be done in ConTeXt. (Otherwise I'd have to use another program like FrameMaker which I try to avoid.) Thank you very much, Steffen At 14:17 03/09/2003 +0200, you wrote:

After reading the different manuals two questions still stay unanswered:

1. Is it true that a figure with text flowing around it (placefigure option left/right) has always to start with a beginning of a paragraph, so that it is not possible to place it in the middle of a text when it is mentioned there?

2. Isn't it possible to make a kind of combination between the placefigure options top and left (for example), so that a small picture can have text floating around it but it is placed at the top of the page (like big landscape formats would be with the top option)?

I hope I just missed something...

1. indeed 2. should not be too difficult, i'll look into it Hans Great, thank you. Then (2) could be a bit of a practical alternative to the missing of (1). Steffen
