[NTG-context] How to "terminate" or break from a side float?

Hi, Below is a MWE achieving the desired behavior, but is a messy solution. Given a side float, how can one "terminate" filling text or break to after the side float? There *must* be a very simple and proper command to do this, but I have not found it. Alan \starttext \startplacefigure [loc

Hello, You find a need to modify the rendering of the bibliography as you are misusing the bibtex data entry. Here is your example, corrected: 1) @electronic is more appropriate than @misc; 2) Apple Inc. is not a name so you should not be using author: organization is more appropriate. Note tha

Re: [NTG-context] Metafun: setting pen size in properties

withproperties is an experimental, metafun extension that appears to cover color and pre/postscripts. It could be extended to cover withpen, etc. Look at mp-mplib.mkiv. properties() returns an image object that can hold many things. The graph package does similar tricks. Alan On Sun, 23 Jul 2
