Re: [NTG-context] Overlapping \starthanging \stophanging with side captions
Wolfgang, thank you very much for your answer about placing text. Using: \startplacefigure[location=force,title={First dummy caption}] \inmargin{First margin dummy} \externalfigure[dummy][width=\textwidth] \stopplacefigure The text in the \inmargin section appears at the bottom of the figure. This works for about one line of text. For some of the figures I'm trying to put 3-4 lines in a wide margin and would like the text to appear at the top or the middle of the figure. I asked a question over at Stackexchange on this: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/107856/placing-text-in-the-margin-next-to-a-figure-using-context Using \starthanging \stophanging put the text in the correct place but then the figures ran into each other. regards Pete ___ 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 ___

Your problem is that you use the hanging environment in a way which is just wrong, the purpose of the command is to put a image etc. at the left/right side of the next paragraph. \useMPlibrary[dum] \starttext \starthanging{\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm]} \input tufte \stophanging \stoptext What you can try is to put the margin text *in* the float itself because the text is flushed at the begin of the next paragraph. \starttext \startplacefigure[location=force,title={First dummy caption}] \inmargin{First margin dummy} \externalfigure[dummy][width=\textwidth] \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[location=force,title={Second dummy caption}] \inmargin{Second margin dummy} \externalfigure[dummy][width=\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 ___
[NTG-context] Overlapping \starthanging \stophanging with side captions
Hi, I'm trying to have extra explanatory text on the side of figures that is not part of the figure's caption. I can get a single figure to work but am having problems when there are multiple figures one after the other. I'm new to ConTeXT and have looked at the Details Manual but have not been able to fix this. I've been using something like: \starthanging{ \placefigure[force][fig:first]{Caption 1} {\externalfigure[first-figure][width=\textwidth]}} \inother[width=5cm]{Some text for the other bit} \stophanging \starthanging{ \placefigure[force][fig:first]{Caption 2} {\externalfigure[second-figure][width=\textwidth]}} \inother[width=5cm]{Some text for the other bit 2} \stophanging and the two figures will overlap. Any help would be much appreciated. thanks Pete ___ 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 ___
