Hi,
it would be great if the \placefigure macro could be extended to
combinations like
\placefigure{top,left}
or
\placefigure{bottom,outer}
The reason for this request is that we use ConTeXt a lot for
typesetting books from "arts and humanities".
There we often have to place a lot of (more then 100) figures at
"fixed" positions like top-outer and bottom-inner, wrapped by text.
I guess it's not a trivial feature to be implemented in TeX's
paragraph processing, but I know it might be worth the effort:
ConTeXt's way to deal with fonts and text is so superior that it
should be also accessible for disciplines that besides text also rely
on images - as the arts and humanities do.
not trivial indeed, although it is more or less doable when you accept some
limitations, e.g. if you have only text and graphics, use a grid, and have no
other tricky stuff that can interfere (display math or so)
