Hello all,

I am wondering if anybody has had any luck with making floats that
extend into the margin? It's a pretty common effect and looks like:

xxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx PPPPPP
xxxxxxxx PPPPPP
xxxxxxxxxxxx

Where x is the text and P is a picture.  I am halfway there by
specifying a negative "margin" in \setupfloats and using a "right" or
"left" float. This gets the text in the proper position. What I need
to do is to move the float a certain amount to the right or left. I
have tried making a "top" specification of "\vbox\bgroup\hskip
Xpc\bgroup\vbox\bgroup" in my \setupfloat definition (and a "bottom"
definition to close the groups). Is this what "top" and "bottom" are
for? I must admit that I am not familiar with ConTeXt's float
mechanism.

I hope that this is clear to people. Any help is welcome.


see details.pdf which has a whole chapter on that kind of floatplacements
