I've got three questions:

1. I've got a document with some xtables. If I use \startplacetable[location=none] the tables don't have a "Table X" label, but they float and end up in locations where I don't want them. If I use \startplacetable[location=force] the tables do have a "Table X" label (which I don't want), but the tables do show up where I want them, that is, they don't float.

   How do I get rid of the "Table X" label when I use \startplacetable[location=force]?

2. Also, when I constructed the example I used

   \startmode[locationforce]
   \startplacetable[location=force]
   \stopmode
   \startnotmode[locationforce]
   \startplacetable[location=none]
   \stopmode

   so I could build both outputs from the same input file. When the locationforce mode was not set the command finished with no errors, but when the locationforce mode was set the command finished with the error:

   tex error       > tex error on line 229 in file ./table-location-label-wrong.ctx: The file ended when scanning an argument.

   however, when I used

   \doifmodeelse{locationforce}{\startplacetable[location=force]}{\startplacetable[location=none]}

   instead, it worked fine.

3. Even when I use the --noconsole option on my context invocation, there is a lot of information that is written to the console. It looks like the information is repeated for each run context makes over the file. Is there some way to get this information to show up in the log file, instead of on the console?

ConTeXt's version information:

ConTeXt  ver: 2021.06.13 19:21 LMTX  fmt: 2021.6.13  int: english/english.

I've attached my example (table-location-label.ctx), the GNUmakefile I use to build it using --mode so that the same source produces both the version with location=force and location=none, and the two PDF output files (table-location-label-none.pdf and table-location-label-force.pdf).

I've also attached the version where I tried to use \startmode/\startnotmode (table-location-label-wrong.ctx).
