Hello,

I was trying to use \startfiguretext to place a second graphics within the figuretext. This makes the main graphics disappear:

\starttext
 \startfiguretext
[left]
{none}
{\externalfigure[graph1][width=2.8in]}
text text more text
 \placefigure
   [here]
   {none}
   {\externalfigure[graph2][width=1.5in]}
\stopfiguretext
\stoptext


The result should look like



graph1           text
graph1           text
graph1           graph2
graph1           graph2

but graph1 1 doesn't show anymore (not even on another page).

Is this a mistake of mine, should I use something else (tables? -- never tried so far),
or a missing feature?

You want the 'impossible': both use the figure floater so the first one is forgotten when the second is encountered; tables are a solution, or maybe:


\useMPlibrary[dum] \setupcolors[state=start]
\setuplayout[backspace=8cm,leftmargin=6cm,width=middle,cutspace=2cm]

\starttext

\placefigure
  [leftmargin,reset]
  {none}
  {\externalfigure[graph1][width=\leftmarginwidth]}

  \input ward

  \placefigure
    [here]
    {none}
    {\externalfigure[graph2][width=1.5in]}

  \input hawking

\stoptext
\useMPlibrary[dum] \setupcolors[state=start]
\setuplayout[backspace=8cm,leftmargin=6cm,width=middle,cutspace=2cm]

\starttext

\placefigure
  [leftmargin,reset]
  {none}
  {\externalfigure[graph1][width=\leftmarginwidth]}

  \input ward

  \placefigure
    [here]
    {none}
    {\externalfigure[graph2][width=1.5in]}

  \input hawking

\stoptext

The new web site is great. Now that I can see what the
manuals are about, I am condemned to try it all out. It has already cost me this afternoon :)

take a look at: details.pdf
