Functionality such as the subject of this thread should be available by default, without having to mess with macros. In particular, functionality present in LaTeX for quite some time should be possible within ConTeXt rather easily, the ConTeXt way, of course.
The ConTeXt way is now: \startchapter[...] \stopchapter When you don't need the extra functionality, you can use the old \chapter command, but when you need it, the just use the new environment.
Thus, \chapter[toc-entry]{title} of LaTeX should have its equivalent in ConTeXt, and this would be logically something like: \chapter [title={title},list={toc-entry}]
Why? LaTeX is not the reference for ConTeXt. It could also be like this: \startsection[type=chapter, title=my title, ...] \stopsection
Furthermore, \chapter*{title} of LaTeX should also have its simple equivalent in ConTeXt, and this would be logically something like: \chapter [number=no] {title}
This should be simple enough: \startchapter[number=no] \stopchapter
which could very logically be: \placefigure [where] [fig:reference] [caption=no] {figure} and \placefigure [where] [fig:reference] [caption={caption},list={lof-entry}] {figure} the ConTeXt way!
Or: \placefigure[where=here, label=fig:label, caption=my caption, ...]{figure} Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
