Dear all, A few days ago (10 April 2013, Vol.106, Issue 25) I posted a question about giving related but not necessarily adjacent floats the same number, as for example Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b. In the meantime I found a, not very elegant, solution that only partly satisfies me.
I cooked up something experimental ... after several variants i ended up with a solution that is only available in the keyword variant:
\useMPlibrary[dum]
\starttext
First line.
\startplacefigure[location=here,reference=first,title=first] \externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm] \stopplacefigure
Second line.
\startplacefigure[location=here,reference=second,title=second,group=alpha,groupsuffix=.a] \externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm] \stopplacefigure
Third line.
\startplacefigure[location=here,reference=third,title=third] \externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm] \stopplacefigure
Fourth line.
\startplacefigure[location=here,reference=fourth,title=fourth,group=alpha,groupsuffix=.b] \externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm] \stopplacefigure
Fifth line.
\startplacefigure[location=here,reference=fifth,title=fifth,group=alpha,groupsuffix=.c] \externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm] \stopplacefigure
Last line: \in[first] / \in[second] / \in[third] / \in[fourth] / \in[fifth].
\page
\placelist[figure]
\stoptext
(beware: it's groupsuffix, and not suffix as that will add another one not tracked in the lists)

Thank you very much, Hans. This is really perfect for my purpose. Best regards, Robert
