Hi list,

I'm using 201100920 00:09 MkIV standalone. Some time ago Marcin Borkowski asked [1] on this list about framing floats together with their captions. It seems to be unanswered and now I stumbled upon a similar problem. I want to have a figure with a caption together in a frame as wide as the surrounding text, aka \textwidth and the caption filling the available horizontal space. I.e. I want something like

\setupcaption[width=\textwidth]
\starttext
\placefigure[here]{\input tufte}{\externalfigure[cow]}
\stoptext

with a frame around it.

I see two approaches here and none of them gives me what I need.  First
using \setupfloat[frame=on] only frames the cow and not the caption. I think I can manually correct this with "framedepth" and "width" but doing something "manually" in ConTeXt seems not like a good idea. Am I overlooking something about \setupfloat?

Secondly, I tried \framed{...} around \placefigure but there are two issues here: How do I setup the caption to fit nicely into the frame? "\setupcaption[width=\textwidth]" is to much because of the frame spacing... And there is another serious issue, see the following minimal example. The frame is where the figure was placed but is empty, because the figure floated to the next page.

\setupcaption[width=max]
\starttext
\dorecurse{2}{\input tufte \par}
\framed{\placefigure[here][fig:muh]{\input tufte}{\externalfigure[cow]}}
\input tufte
\stoptext

I have no idea how to procede with this. Hopefully someone on this list knows how to do this right.

Thanks in advance,
Stefan.
