Hello, why that simple thing doesn't work? Does anybody know?

\def\mycap#1#2{\hbox{\hbox{#1}\vtop{#2\par}}} \setupcaptions[command=\mycap]

Simply I need this:

Fig. 1 The fig is great... ...like any other fig.

I have tried to set this up via table but still can't proceed.

This doesn’t work because the command-key expects a command with one argument which contains the caption number *and* text. To write your own caption layout ask Hans to rewrite the code for the \placefloatcaption (…number and …text) commands for MkIV. Wolfgang
