\placefigure[here]{none}{<image>} seems to actually typeset "none" as a caption. What do I do if I want no caption (not even the "Figure 1" thing, in fact)?
\startplacefigure [location=none] \externalfigure [cow] \stopplacefigure
Interesting. Is
\startplacefigure[location=...] ... \stopplacefigure
equivalent to \placefigure[...]{}{...}?
Yes. \placefigure is the old syntax. \start…\stopplacefigure the new one. The new one uses a the key=value syntax also present in other MkIV commands. Compare: \startplacefigure [title=Lorem, reference=fig:lorem] … \stopplacefigure \startchapter [title=Lorem, reference=sec:lorem] … \stopchapter They are both supported, I personally stick to the new variant. I find the interface much more memorable. Marco
