Hi! You can use the \nolist{} command within the caption for parts, that shouldn't go in the list of figures: f.ex: \placefigure [here][fig:Res_FlussSkalierungsfaktor] {This is a caption. \nolist{This part of the caption will not be listed in the list of figures.}} {\externalfigure[ResDat32_PhiProton2][width=100mm]} Instead the part within \nolist will be replaced by "..." (3 dots). If you want to change this default behaviour use the "limittext"-option as shown in the following example. \placelistoffigures[before=\blank,criterium=all,limittext={}] Best Regards Michael

Hello all,

I'm busy with writing a paper for university and the teachers "ordered" me to include a List of Figures. So now I'm using \completelistoffigures to get the list of figures.

However, my captions with the figures are quite long so I was wondering if it's possible to let ConTeXt write a different text to the List of Figures. I thought something similar was possible with the Table of Contents and the \chapter command, but I cannot remember how...maybe I imagined.

So is it possible to write a different text to the LoF? I use \placefigure[here]{This is my very long caption} {\externalfigure[myfigure]} to place my figures in the text.

I've experimented with using \writetolist[figure]{1}{short caption} to write a text to the LoF, but there are some problems with that method. (the figure can be placed on a different page than the \writetolist, and I'll need a way to stop ConTeXt writing the caption text to the list as well).

Any ideas?

My best, Tim
