[NTG-context] Float positioning

[Geert Dobbels]

Hello,

Maybe I did not understand the problem, but doesn't the code below give
you the expected result?:

\setupexternalfigures[location={local,default}]

\starttext

\dorecurse{3}{\input{knuth}}

\placefigure[force]{cow}{\externalfigure[cow][width=150mm]}

\input{knuth}

\placefigure[force,page]{one more cow}{\externalfigure[cow][width=150mm]}

\placefigure[force,page]{cow again}{\externalfigure[cow][width=150mm]}

\dorecurse{10}{\input{knuth}}

\stoptext
