Hello Hans, I would like to prevent caption stoppers from appearing in references in ConTeXt. Here is a minimal example: \starttext \setupcaptions[numberstopper=.~---~, distance=0em] \placefigure[][cow]{A Cow}{\externalfigure[cow]} \in{Figure}[cow] shows a cow. \stoptext Aditya suggested that I use suffix instead of numberstopper, which works very well, but Wolgang said: ‘I’m sorry to disappoint you but there is no official solution to achieve this. There are ways to change the stopper for section numbers in the heading and the text but not for the other counters (floats, descriptions etc.). The solution you got from Aditya at stackexchange works but it’s more a hack because suffixes are used when you use a splitted float (e.g. a table which spans multiple pages) where you get 1.a., 1.b etc. (the a and b are suffixes) as numbers.’ So since numberstoppers — of any kinds (for floats, sections, descriptions) — are supposed to separate numbers from titles, it would be logical that they don’t appear in references because references don’ have titles, only numbers, so no separation sign (numberstopper) is needed. Could you change that behaviour Hans, or add a command for setting the layout of the numbers in references (separators, counter conversion, etc.)? There is already such a command for section numbers and you only have to add another one for other counters. Best regards.
