Dear all, I have problems with the placement of floats. I need them to be placed in the outer edge of the text, but Context puts them in the middle of the page. The outer, inner, outeredge, inneredge, commands do not work. Right and left do work.
Preferably the criterium option should also work, e.g. criterium=0.67. A minimal test file is attached. Try it out with a dummy, or with cow picture, or with any other picture of your liking. I updated my context installation today to a bèta version. The version is: 2013.08.30 02.05. All help is welcome! Many thanks in advance, Robert

When the first volume of Donald Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming was
published in 1969, it was typeset using hot metal type set by a Monotype
Corporation typecaster with a hot metal typesetting machine from the 19th
century which produced a "good classic style" appreciated by Knuth. When the
second edition of the second volume was published, in 1976, the whole book had
to be typeset again because the Monotype technology had been largely replaced
by photographic techniques, and the original fonts were no longer available.[4]
When Knuth received the galley proofs of the new book on 30 March 1977, he
found them awful.[5] Around that time, Knuth saw for the first time the output
of a high-quality digital typesetting system, and became interested in digital
typography. The disappointing galley proofs gave him the final motivation to
solve the problem at hand once and for all by designing his own typesetting
system. On 13 May 1977, he wrote a memo to himself describing the basic
features of TeX.[6]

He planned to finish it on his sabbatical in 1978, but as it happened the
language was not frozen until 1989, more than ten years later. Guy Steele
happened to be at Stanford during the summer of 1978, when Knuth was developing
his first version of TeX. When Steele returned to MIT that autumn, he rewrote
TeX's I/O to run under the ITS operating system. The first version of TeX was
written in the SAIL programming language to run on a PDP-10 under Stanford's
WAITS operating system. For later versions of TeX, Knuth invented the concept
of literate programming, a way of producing compilable source code and
cross-linked documentation typeset in TeX from the same original file. The
language used is called WEB and produces programs in DEC PDP-10 Pascal.
