Hi Wolfgang, and Joerg,

Actually with your code and using numberstopper instead of stopper your example works fine here, too. So the right command is \setupcaption[figure][numberstopper={:}] and not what I wrote before (which works in mkii, though…). Actually the command used by Joerg, that is \setupcaptions[numberstopper={:}] works also.

Best regards: OK

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 .... and thanks a lot for responding and straightening this out. best, joerg

\setupexternalfigure[location=default]

\setupcaption[figure][numberstopper=:]

\starttext

Take a look at \at{picture}[fig:cow] below.

\startplacefigure[reference=fig:cow,title=A dutch cow] \externalfigure[cow] \stopplacefigure

\stoptext
