So 'numbering=yes' will number according to position on the page?
no
To avoid confusion:
When 'page' refers to the typeset result, then Hans' answer actually means 'yes'. Or it should, at least. I remember files where I had to run texexec twice though. I am not sure if that bug still happens, so be careful.
Right, I meant in pages of the typeset result. I'll watch for the need to run texexec and make a minimal example if I find the problem. Meanwhile I've been experimenting in baby steps, and numbering=yes does what I want, as does specifying nothing about numbering. But numbering=nocheck doesn't stop it, so I'm confused by what the nocheck option does (doesn't cause me problems since the default is what I want, but I'm curious). Probaby I'm just using an old version of context since the texshow-web says that numbering=nocheck is a new option. My last attempt at upgrading didn't go well (I have tetex-3.0) but maybe it's time to try again. $ texexec --version TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) context : ver: 2005.01.31 cont-en : ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2006.3.28 mes: english With this output on the file $ texexec 2m [...snip...] systems : begin file 2m at line 6 (/usr/share/texmf-tetex/tex/context/sample/tufte.tex) figures : dimensions of ./a.1 loaded from figurefile itself (./2m.tuo) floatblocks : 1 renumbered / figure 1 => 2 floatblocks : 1 placed (/usr/share/texmf-tetex/tex/context/sample/knuth.tex) figures : dimensions of ./a.2 loaded from figurefile itself floatblocks : 2 renumbered / figure 2 => 1 floatblocks : 2 placed [1.1] systems : end file 2m at line 13 [...snip...] So the figures get renumbered.
