Can be a problem of mkiv,
it does not work even with
\stopcolumns
\placetable[top][t-1020]{Intersystem Travel Times}{\getbuffer[ta-1020]}
\startcolumns
\dorecurse{2}{\input zapf}
\dorecurse{2}{\input tufte}
\dorecurse{2}{\input zapf}
\dorecurse{2}{\input tufte}
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
It works in mkii with
# texexec floats.tex

[NTG-context] Problems with wide floating tables in context mkIV
Hello, all
Maybe this problem has been already addressed before, but I didn't find
anything about it in contextgarden and ML archives. So, here you are.
I have a document laid out in two columns, and some wide tables laid out
using Natural Tables syntax. These tables are then placed on the
document this way:
\placetable[top][table-1020]{Intersystem Travel
Times}{\getbuffer[tablebuffer-id]}
When I compile my files using XeTeX engine, the table is placed at the
top of the page, spanning two columns. When I use the LuaTeX engine, the
table is placed in the middle of a column and cut off by its page margin
or overwritten by the neighbouring column text.
I define column sections by using the \startcolumns...\stopcolumns
directives. Do I have to switch to columnsets?
A sample of the problem I depicted here can be found at:
http://www.lambertini.org/testfloats.zip .
The zip file contains two pdf (one compiled with XeTeX, another with
LuaTeX) and the TeX source.
Thanks in advance for your responses,
Massimiliano Lambertini
