you can use the following method, it is very dirty but it works and give you what you want.

\setupcaption[figure][distance=\zeropoint] \defineconversion[gobble][\gobbleoneargument] \setupnumber[figure][conversion=gobble] \setuplabeltext[figure=]

\starttext \completelistoffigures \page \placefigure{First Figure}{\blackrule[width=4cm,height=2cm]} \placefigure{Second Figure}{\blackrule[width=3cm,height=5cm]} \stoptext

Ah.. our stalwart gangster Wolfgang, always the master of dirty tricks. If we ever finish The ConTeXtbook you'll have to do Appendix~D ;-)

well, this is a valid dirty trick because the conversion interface is not likely to change (for wolfgang: there is a predefined 'empty' conversion for this purpose, introduced not that long ago, so maybe not present everywhere) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

talking of that book ... how are you progressing?

working on the funding angle right now (never easy and no guarantees), but I suspect that once mkiv is relatively complete (another 18 months or so?) we'll be in a better position to write that book.

Dear ConTeXt Users,

Thanks to those that contributed to this thread! The code

\setupcaption[figure][distance=\zeropoint] \defineconversion[gobble][\gobbleoneargument] \setupnumber[figure][conversion=gobble] \setuplabeltext[figure=]

just did the trick, but I don't understand why! Maybe I shouldn't bother at the moment! By the way, am I right in saying that the interaction feature of the list doesn't work when using this trick?

Well, I've one more question related to the list of figures. Is there a way to truncate a long caption to a maximum of just no more than a fraction of the length of a textline and indicate the truncation by for example a few dots (...)? Something like:

A very long figure caption truncated just here... pagenumber
