very long hanging caption

2 May 2021

      Dear list,

having images with very long captions I'd like captions to be wrapped
around the figures. I would guess hang=yes parameter could do so, but not
in my case.

---------------- text of
|              | the caption
|              | which is
---------------- much longer
than the height of the image
and should be wrapped around the image

The second question is how to change the distance between image and the
caption, distance parameter has no effect. MkIV, because footnotes in
columns are needed (not in lmtx, yet).

% macros=mkiv
\setupcaption[
  number=no,
  hang=yes,
  align={nothyphenated,flushleft},
  distance=4mm,
  location=righthanging]

\startbuffer[caption]
\dorecurse{60}{very long caption }
\stopbuffer

\starttext
\startplacefigure[title={\getbuffer[caption]}]
\externalfigure[cow][height=40mm,width=80mm]
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext

Thank you,
Jano
