hi,
I'm currently writing my diploma thesis with context. I already read the
wiki and searched the manuals but I didn't find something like a common
practice for defining new caption types.
My problem: I have a lot of code listings and I want to define a custom
caption type (named listing) and aggregate them into a own register. I
already set up a new register with
\defineregister [listing][Listing]
and it is also possible to place listings in this register with
\placelisting{
       \startJV
               ...
       \stopJV
}
but how can I add a custom caption to this listing? I'm thinking of
something like \placefigure. Or perhaps I must just setup placelisting.
Any Idea? Thanks in advance!
Steffen
Hi Steffen,
\definefloat[listing][listings]
you can change the caption text with the following command

\setuplabeltext[listing=captiontext ]      % works for all languages
\setuplabeltext[de][listing=captiontext ] % works only the german caption
...
\starttext
\placelistoflistings
%\completelistoflistings
\placelistings
  {text}
  {\startJV
   ...
   \stopJV}
this should be

\placelisting
  {text}
   \bgroup
   \startJV
   ...
   \stopJV
   \egroup
...
\stoptext
