But now I have a figure, where the (pretty long) title-text should be on the right side, how to get this?

Define a float type `rightfigure` that inherits from `figure`; then setup that float's caption with \setupcaption[rightfigure][...=...]. Like so: \definefloat[rightfigure][rightfigure][figure] \setupcaption[rightfigure][location=right] \starttext \placefigure{caption 1}{\framed{figure 1}} \placerightfigure{caption 2}{\framed{figure 2}} \placefigure{caption 3}{\framed{figure 3}} \stoptext Example stolen from: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupcaption On what wiki pages did you look? Perhaps you could add a sentence 'For adjusting the captions and their location, see {{cmd|setupcaption}}.' so that future users will be led to the page they need. Cheers, Sietse
