Duplicates, missings, and strange crossovers.

It's not something I imagined you would allow to exist for very long.

Very nearly: Mar  4 10:44 context.tex

But apparently I was in a little panic. I was misled by the reference
naming my partner used. What really caused it was the poorly understood
use of \placefigure[always] (from a mysterious hint you sent to the
list). My partner really doesn't like TeX's tendency to put floats pages
away from where they're named, so she wanted the strongest force option
available.

We replaced them with [here,force], and everything was made right again.
Sorry. I guess I did panic a little.

But I clearly need to learn more about the different placement mechanisms
sometime.

Tomorrow, the exciting world of \makeups...

thanks,
adam
