[NTG-context] \startplacefigure breaking paragraph flow

2013-02-10 Thread Marcin Borkowski
Hi all, when I issue a \startplacefigure, it breaks the flow of the paragraph. Normally, it is not a problem (I can use 2*hang anyway), but I have a one-paragraph enumeration (made by \defineenumeration), and if I give the figure at its beginning, the label is on a line by its own; the problem

[NTG-context] Repeating Headers for Tabulate not Working

Hello, I just looked up how to enable repeated headers in \starttabulate… \stoptabulate tables. It's explained here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tabulate#Headers …but I am unable to make the minimal example work: \starttext \placetable[split,here][tab:ref]{Sometable}
