[NTG-context] margintext and placefigure
Dear all.
I am having some trouble with figure placement in the margin. If you use the
following code, please try to comment out first one and then both '\input
knuth'. Somehow, the figure is not placed in the margin, but the center of the
page, if a page breaks occurs close by. Is there a way to avoid that and have
the figure always placed in the margin?
Thanks,
Andy

background: I started working on my module (caesar) again, since the ipad is
supposed to render mathml now. That means, I could try the context epub output
with formulas on an actual device (cp. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5321)

That was my first choice as well. But it does not play nice with margintext.
Try putting \margintext{bla} directly after the chapter. stack=continue is
somehow ignored. Also, the figure is moved all the way up, which is strange.

2012-11-11 Andy Thomas: That was my first choice as well. But it does not play nice with margintext. The both use two different mechanisms AFAIK, and there's no or not much communication between them. Mixing both leads to overprinted content. Also, the figure is moved all the way up, which is strange. That's intended. The margin texts stack up from the top to the bottom. For figures this usually does makes sense since the figures are referred to by number anyway.

That would even be preferred, if all marginals stack from the top down (http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20120529.093731.5306286a.en.html) Andy ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
