I want to use `numberstopper' for figure caption customization like so:

\setupcaptions[numberstopper={:}]

this works fine for the caption itself (i.e. I get, e.g. "Figure 1: caption text") _but_ references to the figure via a defined label such as [fig:example] in the body text do include the numberstopper, too, which is highly undesirable in my view, since, e.g.,

"... see Figure 1: for an example. ..."

should rather read

"... see Figure 1 for an example. ..."

i.e. the numberstopper should be omitted (at least optionally) when referencing.

question: how can this be achieved?

Can you make a example because I can’t reproduce the problem you describe.

I have done that right now (problem definitely there) but then looked at the difference between my syntax and yours. I used something like

\setupexternalfigures [directory={.}] \setupcaption[width=.95\textwidth, location=bottom, numberstopper={:}]

\starttext An illustration of this process is given in Fig.~\in[fig:convosim]. .... \stoptext

changing the referencing to

An illustration of this process is given in Fig.~\at[fig:convosim].

i.e. replacing `\in' by `\at' resolves the issue. I'm rather new to context and was under the impression that `\in' is the context equivalent of latex's \ref and was not aware of \at at all. but this seems only partly true. can you give me a pointer where best to look up the differences between `\in' and `\at'?

so it seems I need to use \at for referencing figures, at least when numberstopper is not empty? ok, so be it ....

No, you’re right. I used the wrong command (\at is used to show the page where to float was placed) and so far there is only a workaround for this problem. What you can do is to use the “suffix” key to set a stopper for the caption which will only appear in the caption itself. \setupexternalfigure[location=default] \setupcaption[figure][suffix=:] \starttext Take a look at \in{picture}[fig:cow] below. \startplacefigure[reference=fig:cow,title=A dutch cow] \externalfigure[cow] \stopplacefigure \stoptext This solution is far from perfect because normally the suffix key is used for the internal counter of split floats, e.g. when a numbered table is split over several tables and you get numbers label „Table 3.a” etc. Wolfgang
