Hi Hans,
I am working on some float placement code for a project. To
not reinvent the wheel I like to know what is currently possible in
ConTeXt.
fyi: As I often need conditional placement in projects (mostly width
related), it's likely that there will be a pluggable system some day
I already consider the entire float mechanism very flexible and
feature rich.
It's somewhat complicated by the fact that one has to decide what
to do with delayed placement.
I'm quite happy with the placement in general. The exact problem
here is that if the \setupfloat[criterium=…] value is exceeded, it
seems that ConTeXt adjusts the values “location” and “default” to
place the float in the text. A solution would be to be able to state
a fallback float class in case criterium is exceeded. Idea:
\definefloat
[marginfigure]
[marginfigures]
\definefloat
[marginfigurefallback]
[marginfiguresfallbacks]
[marginfigure]
\setupfloat
[marginfigure]
[criterium=\marginwidth,
criteriumfallback=marginfigurefallback]
This way full control is being maintained, since the float and
caption style of the fallback class can be individually adjusted.
