Hello, I am a new ConTeXt user recently switched from LaTeX (with small amounts of raw TeX macrosity) which I used for several years. I was searching the internet, this mailing list and finally the ConTeXt sources to find some information about achieving hanging indentation in captions. The 'hang' option for the 'caption' LaTeX package [1] was my inspiration (you can see an example on the 3 page of the linked manual). The only thing I could find was an old reply from Taco Hoekwater [2] but as he mentions this does not work well. After digging inside the source code of both ConTeXt and caption.sty I managed to hack the \putcompletecaption macro to do what I need. (see below) The changes required are minimal (capture the caption head into a box, remember its width and later set \hangindent and \hangafter while typessing the caption body) so maybe this could go into the main ConTeXt tree? Unfortunately I do not know how to make use of the setup macros so this currently hardcodes the hanging indentation. \unprotect \newdimen\captionhang \def\putcompletecaption#1#2% {\doifsomething{\floatcaptionparameter\c!spacebefore}{\blank[\floatcaptionparameter\c!spacebefore]}% % \floatcaptionparameter\c!before % test for side effects first \noindent \xdef\lastcaptiontag{\strut#1}% \dostartattributes{\??kj\currentfloat}\c!style\c!color\empty \setbox0\hbox{% \ifnofloatnumber \else \hbox{\doattributes{\??kj\currentfloat}\c!headstyle\c!headcolor{\strut#1}}% \ifnofloatcaption \else \ifemptyfloatcaption \else \doifelsenothing{\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceinbetween} {\scratchskip\floatcaptionparameter\c!distance\relax \dotfskip\scratchskip\emergencystretch.5\scratchskip} {\blank[\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceinbetween]}% \fi \fi \fi }% \captionhang=\wd0\unhbox0% \ifnofloatcaption \globallet\lastcaptionht\!!zeropoint \globallet\lastcaptiondp\!!zeropoint \else \doattributes{\??kj\currentfloat}\c!textstyle\c!textcolor {\hangindent=\captionhang\hangafter=1% \xdef\lastcaptionht{\strutheight}% \xdef\lastcaptiondp{\strutdepth}% \begstrut#2\endstrut\endgraf}% \fi \dostopattributes % \floatcaptionparameter\c!after % test for side effects first \doifsomething{\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceafter}{\blank[\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceafter]}} \protect [1]: http://www.dd.chalmers.se/latex/Docs/PDF/caption.pdf [2]: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/21675/focus=21676 -- regards, Jakub Piotr Cłapa
