Hello,
why that simple thing doesn't work? Does anybody know?

\def\mycap#1#2{\hbox{\hbox{#1}\vtop{#2\par}}}
\setupcaptions[command=\mycap]

Simply I need this:

Fig. 1 The fig is great...
...like any other fig.

I have tried to set this up via table but still can't proceed.

This doesn�t work because the command-key expects a command with one

argument which contains the caption number *and* text.

To write your own caption layout ask Hans to rewrite the code

for the \placefloatcaption (�number and �text) commands for MkIV.
