Omit part of a caption in a list
Dear all, is the following possible? List of figures 1.1 Figure caption . . . . . . 2 <page break> *imagine figure here Figure 1.1: Figure caption is a lot longer than it appears in the list of figures. I'd like to shorten the captions in the list of figures that I produce using \placelist[figure] (preferably cut off clean, no ellipsis or the like). I know about \nomarking{} but it seems to apply only to chapter, section etc. titles. Cheers Christian

This is indeed possible, using \select; see http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20060501.171706.24b88466.en.html . Example usage: \defineselector[caption][max=2,n=2] \starttext \setupselector[caption][n=1] \completelistoffigures \setupselector[caption][n=2] \placefigure[][] {\select{caption} {A short caption} {A rather longer caption which will appear below the figure itself}} {This is the content of the actual figure} \stoptext Pont

The possibilities of Context continue to amaze me... Thank you very much, Pont!

WIth the current beta you can write: \startplacefigure[title={A rather long caption …},list={A short caption}] \externalfigure[…] \stopplacefigure Wolfgang

Wow, that is even better! I updated to latest beta because of this and it works like a charm:) P.S: Now I'also getting the 1.7MB pdf when including the png-file, like mentioned in the thread "terrible png placement". (ConTeXt ver: 2011.11.09 20:58 MKIV, LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011110321 (rev 4277), Win32) But I don't have png's in my work file, so that's no biggie.

strange, there's a \nopdfcompression in context.mkiv ... probably a left over from a test .. just remove that line and remake the format ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
