Asked the same thing a while ago and Hans put 'selectors' in the ConTeXt core as an answer. See the end of http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2006/018204.html for an example. You shouldn't need any of the macro code any more ... HTH, Joh Robin Kirkham wrote:

Hi again,

Is there a way in ConTeXt to have "long" and "short" versions of a figure caption, as one can in LaTeX? The "long" caption is placed with the figure, the short one for the list of figures.

Thanks,

Robin
