I am using a layout with wide right margin. For floats that are \textwidth wide, I can place captions in the margin using**\setupcaption[location=rightmargin,high/low]. However, for figures that are (*\textwidth+\marginwidth+\margindistance*) wide, I would like to *place the caption in the margin below the figure*. I have tried spacebefore=\vskip but it doesn't seem to do anything. Another option was to use default caption location (below the figure) and add \hspace before figure placement. None of these work as I am not able to make spacebefore do anything. *MWE* \setuplayout[width=5cm, height=13cm,rightmargin=5cm] \setupexternalfigures[option=empty] \setupfloat[figure][location=inner] % \setupcaption [figure] [width=5cm, location={rightmargin,low}, spacebefore=big] %\setupcaption %[figure] %[width=5cm] \starttext \showframe \placefigure{A small but important caption.}{\externalfigure[cow][width=10cm]} \stoptext

For a recent project I had the similar requirements. I did not find a proper solution. I attached an example of the code I used. However, it has several issues: 1) Margin floats and texts overlay and need manual adjustment. 2) The baseline of the float description does not match the baseline of the main text (fixed using manual trial and error). I used an ugly hack (toffset=7.5ex) to align the description vertically. 3) The \startplacesmartfigure is not very robust. My notes say “Do not indent \startplacesmartfigure”. I don't recall what the exact issue was. 4) Probably many more that I haven't discovered, yet. Feel free to suggest fixes for the mentioned issues. Marco
Hello Marco, Your code goes well beyond what I was looking for. As I am working on a deadline right now, I am just going to use the frame trick to place the caption for wide figures. However, expect to hear from me in future regarding this code. Regards, Devendra On 01/20/2013 09:31 PM, Marco Patzer wrote:
