[dev-context] startfigure / placestartfigure confusion

19 Nov 2021

      Hi all,

I was trying to document the \marking()() command (which is in itself a bit of an odd thing, but
not the point of this message). It is supposedly to be used inside of 

  \startfigure … \stopfigure (lmtx)
or with the old name:
  \placestartfigure … \placestopfigure (mkii/mkiv)

but as I was trying to produce an example, I discovered that 

  \startfigure … \stopfigure

does not seem to work at all ? no output appears. Is this command supposed to still work, even?

% MWE (assuming I understand the supposed syntax correctly):
\starttext
\startfigure[mycow][cow.pdf][width=4cm]
...
\stopfigure
some text
\stoptext
