I am using MKIV. Many thanks for the news about the changes to \placefigure and the sample alternative: that is very helpful and much appreciated.
The only problem remaining is how to cancel the automatic titling/numbering. In
\startplacefigure[reference=fig:cow.pdf,title=Figure A][here,page,force,nonumber] \externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=.5\textwidth] \stopplacefigure
the output has two titles (“Figure 1” and “Figure A”).
I have checked the wiki (which does not show this as a possibility) and experimented with “nonumber” and “number=no”, all without success. \setupcaptions[number=no] gets rid of “Figure 1” but while the links show properly, they do not actually work.
As Wolfgang said, the 2nd argument of \startplacefigure is for specifying userdata, not the location of the figure. To specify the location of the figure, use the location key: \starttext \startplacefigure [ reference=fig:cow.pdf, title={Figure A}, location={here,page,force,nonumber}, ] \externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=.5\textwidth] \stopplacefigure \stoptext Aditya
