Hi Marco,
Thank you very much indeed for your reply. This topic apparently does not
interest many people.
In your suggestion the figures are put in the outer margin in a vertical row
below one another close to the top of the page, and not near the position in
the text.
I want them positioned close to the place in the text which should flow around
them. I have seen examples of this made by Context. This can be obtained by
specifying default=left, or default=right, only I need the figures to protrude
into the (outer) margin. This for some reason does not work under mkiv.
I still have some time, but my deadline is approaching.
Thanks again!
Kind regards,
Robert
