Hello all,

I am wondering if anybody has had any luck with making floats that extend into the margin? It's a pretty common effect and looks like:

xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx PPPPPP xxxxxxxx PPPPPP xxxxxxxxxxxx

Where x is the text and P is a picture. I am halfway there by specifying a negative "margin" in \setupfloats and using a "right" or "left" float. This gets the text in the proper position. What I need to do is to move the float a certain amount to the right or left. I have tried making a "top" specification of "\vbox\bgroup\hskip Xpc\bgroup\vbox\bgroup" in my \setupfloat definition (and a "bottom" definition to close the groups). Is this what "top" and "bottom" are for? I must admit that I am not familiar with ConTeXt's float mechanism.

I hope that this is clear to people. Any help is welcome.

see details.pdf which has a whole chapter on that kind of floatplacements HAn s ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
