First, an example demonstrating the nlines problem.
%\setupfloats[nlines=10]
\starttext
\dorecurse{100}{Some text. }
\placefigure[][refrfsjd]{Some figure.}
{\framed{\vbox to 18cm{\vss\tfd\hfil High and mighty\hfil\vss}}}
\dorecurse{250}{Some text. }
Some text.
\stoptext
The figure is put on the second page with three lines of text. Uncommenting
the nlines=10 doesn't change anything. Shouldn't the figure get a page
without text if there is no possibility to get at least nlines?
Here, a text showing my problem with the 'page' key of \placefigure - it is
typeset on three pages:
\starttext
There will be a page break just in a moment!
\placefigure[page][refrfsjd]{Well, the figure is in fact
on a page of its own.}
{\framed{\tfd High and mighty}}
But this should go on the first page, too, I think.
\stoptext
