You can set the text in the margin with the second argument of \startplacefigure. \define\FigureText {\dowithnextbox {\startlinealignment[middle] \copy\nextbox\rlap{\hskip\rightmargindistance\framed[frame=off,width=\rightmarginwidth,height=\nextboxht]{\floatuserdataparameter{text}}} \stoplinealignment} \hbox} \setupfloat[figure][command=\FigureText] \starttext \startplacefigure[title=Dummy figure][text=Margin dummy] \externalfigure[dummy][width=.8\textwidth] \stopplacefigure \stoptext Wolfgang ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
