Figure / table caption format
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c963ea58dfacbc5b72f1843f5326305b.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Hi, I've been looking into the various ConTeXt resources to figure out how to place a colon between the figure number and the caption text within the document, as follows: Figure 1: This is a figure caption Unfortunately I have not yet found it and am wondering if anyone can provide a clue as to how this is accomplished. Also, how can I left justify the caption text within the document as follows: Figure 1: This is a figure caption that is too long to fit on a single line of text Any help is appreciated ... Sincerely, Stefano

think chinese: (see lang-chi for examples) \starttext \start \setuplabeltext[figure={figure\enspace,\thinspace:}] \placefigure{whatever}{} \stop \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
