Back in 2007 there was a discussion here on the list about whether context
could do something like LaTeX’s float pages.
http://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=ntg-context%40ntg.nl&q=subject%3A%22%5C%5BNTG%5C-context%5C%5D+LaTeX+float+pages+in+ConTeXt%22&x=0&y=0
In short these are designated pages that LeTeX puts in to collect abundant top-
and here-floats. There can -- in contrast to contex’s default=page -- be more
than one float on such a page and there is no running text.
In a LaTeX-setup correcponding to:
%\setupfloats[nlines=15]
\setupfloat[figure][default={here,top,bottom,page}]
\starttext
\section{First Section}
\input zapf
\placefigure {Blah} {\externalfigure[figurename][width=5.0in, height=3.0in]}
\placefigure {Blah} {\externalfigure[figurename][width=5.0in, height=3.5in]}
\placefigure {Blah} {\externalfigure[figurename][width=5.0in, height=3.5in]}
\placefigure {Blah} {\externalfigure[figurename][width=5.0in, height=3.3in]}
\placefigure {Blah} {\externalfigure[figurename][width=5.0in, height=3.3in]}
\section{Second Section}
\input zapf
\input zapf
\input zapf
\stoptext
pages 2 and 3 wouldn’t have body text on them.
Is there a possibility to have context remove body text from pages with floats
when the space falls short of a certain number of lines?
Hans mentioned nlines in the old thread, but commenting it in doesn’t seem to
have any effect.
Best regards,
Florian.
