Thank Hans, I thought something along those lines, but thank you for the explanation. Indeed, I probably should do it differently. If the "force" option would not break anything then I would like to try that, otherwise it is all fine as is. This is not really critical and I will rather change the float in my document than create more issues. Regards, Adam On Mon, Nov 15, 2021 at 2:00 PM Hans Hagen wrote:

Hi,

Is there a way to allow a paragraph to break over two pages (between the paragraph start and the placement of the float) with a hanging float further down the paragraph?

MWE:

\starttext \input lorem \blank[20*line]

% commenting out the hanging float allows paragraph break \startplacefigure[location={right,15*hang}] \framed[width=3cm,height=2cm]{graphic} \stopplacefigure

\dorecurse{10}{\input lorem} \stoptext

When I remove the hanging float, the paragraph is broken down at the first pagebreak. With the float, the paragraph starts always on the next page, regardless of the space left on the previous page. Yes and no ... tex cannot really lookahead here. But thanks to some recent new trickery I can provide:

location={right,15*hang,force}

However, it really is up to the user to check of all works out right (but i assume that the 15*hang is also soemthing specific for the situation). Adapting this already (too) complex mechanism too much is asking for issues.

Hans
