[NTG-context] images and text stacked in the margin
Dear list,
I am still struggling to achieve the page layout/look that I am trying to get.
For an image of the desired page spread please look here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9089117/tufte-spread.png
The design is using the ample margin to place text (sidenotes), figures
(images) and tables in the margin. I am unable to get both (images and text) to
work properly.
(1) put all in a \margintext
\margintext{...} for text
\margintext{\placefigure...} for external images
This option does not work if the position is close to a page break (cp.
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/2012.191529.3fbef120.en.html)
(2) use two different macros
\margintext{...} for text and
\placefigure[location=margin]{}{...} for external images
This option does not work because they are placed on top of each other. I also
tried \startplacefigure, but also no luck.
(3) put all in a \placefigure
\placefigure[margin,none]{}{Text Text} for text
\placefigure[margin,none]{}{...} for external images
This works best, because it starts from the top and nicely stacks the
marginals. But it introduces a paragraph break where the sidenote is called.
This does not work, it defeats the purpose (imagine a paragraph after every
footnote).
(4) use (3) and postponing
\startpostponing [+1]%
\startplacefigure[location={margin,none}]%
Text text\stopplacefigure%
\stoppostponing%
Now, the paragraph break is gone, but the sidenote is on the next page, which
does not make sense in our case (cp.
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/56388/avoid-line-break-after-macro). In
general, I do not understand, where the paragraph break at the \placefigure...
comes from. It does not seam necessary in most cases (e.g. location=top) and
postponing does avoid it. Can I 'gobble' it somehow?
Does anyone have an idea, how to make it work for images as well as text
combined?
Andy

The citations have to be referenced at the end of particular sentences. The first link (showing the spread) makes it more obvious. Also, I tried marginblocks now, but they show the same bug as margintext if a page break occurs close by. ___ 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 ___

One trick used with floats to avoid the unwanted break that may or may not work here with margintext is \startpostponing [+0] \startplacemargintext \stoplacemargintext \stoppostponing Alan ___ 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 ___
