Hi!
Is there are an easy way to get total number of pages/tables/figures etc.? \getnumber[table] of \getnumber[figure] returns 0, \getnumber[page] gives some irrelevant number. I've found command \totalnumberofpages, is there are something similar for others? It would be great to also automatically change the following word as in:
1 figure, but 2 figures
Is there support for that in ConTeXt?
No, but it is easy to define this on your own. To Hans: Is reading utilities not implemented in mkiv? The following works fine with mkii but not with mkiv. \def\noffigures {1} \def\savenoffigures {\savecurrentvalue{\noffigures}{\getnumber[figure]}} \appendtoks \savenoffigures \to \everystoptext \def\shownoffigures {\noffigures\ % \doifelse{\noffigures}{1}{figure}{figures}} \starttext This text has \shownoffigures. \dorecurse{10}{\placefigure{something}{} \input knuth \endgraf } \stoptext
