The first couple of lines of the paragraph beginning on page two should

doesn't work due to the page break, I'd like to split this paragraph
into two logical entities, so TeX can put the first on the first page
and treat the second as a separate paragraph flowing around the picture.
However, the reader should not be aware of this split.
Any help much appreciated,
I don't know of any automatic solution to this problem (except _perhaps_
columnsets could help) but the simplest way to split a paragraph into
two paragraphs while still looking like one is by inserting a macro
like this at an existing break point:
Thanks Taco, this appears to be exactly what I was looking for. One more
thing though: is there a simple way to arrange for all arguments
provided to \splitpar to be passed on to \placefigure in a definition
like this:
Something like this should work:
\def\splitpar#1%
{\bgroup
....
\gdef\splitparcommands{\placefigure#1\parskip...}%
\aftergroup \splitparcommands
\egroup}
The definition is all about \aftergroup: each \aftergroup adds exactly
one *token* to the list of things to run after the group ends. Passing
arguments that way is tedious and very error prone (you would need
something like \adtergroup [ \aftergroup l \aftergroup e \aftergroup f
... ), so defining a global macro and passing that is better.
I did not do this in the earlier version because if you can get around
using \gdef, it is usually wise to do so. Sorry, I have no idea whether
it is possible to do this stuff with a nicer, more ConTeXt interface.
Best wishes,
Taco
