Hello,
again I'm working on a technical manual and decided to use ConTeXt to do the
job. Since I'm a developer, I always try to do things as flexible as possible.
I'm currently struggling to achieve two things:
1) a macro (that will print a list) should also add a heading. However, the
heading should always be one level beneath the current heading and without
numbering. Example: within a \section it should be a \subsubject, within a
\chapter it should be a \subject, and so on.
\definesectionlevels[extra][title,subject,subsubject,subsubsubject]
\setuphead[chapter][color=red]
\setuphead[section][color=green]
\setuphead[subsection][color=blue]
\define\PlaceList
{\startsectionlevel[extra][title=List]
%
\stopsectionlevel}
\starttext
\startsectionlevel[title=Chapter 1]
\PlaceList
\startsectionlevel[title=Section 1.1]

How do you make layers, or backgrounds, appear on every page?

Add “state=repeat” to \definelayer:

I found this solution. It work fine for short captions / wide images.

If captions are long and the image narrow, they are typeset on multiple
lines. Default centering produces the ragged column - both not very
nice and difficult to read. When the alignment is set to hanging, it
looks better except the last line which is not centered.
Is there any settings for centering the last line?
I've found it is a general problem with the centering the last line when
hanging alignment is set. Here is the similar thread, but with no response:
https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg32884.html
This is quite old thread. Are there any new possibilities in the Context
from that era?
Thanks, Jan

Finally fixed with align=last :-)
This is the improved example. The only remaining issue is an one empty line
between the image and the label when \startnarrower command is used.
Please compare two pages w/o this option set:

I haven't find any better way to extend the caption width than that negative

You have to force a certain width for your images because the width
of the text space depends on the width of the images. You can use
\framed (instead of loffset/roffset you can also set a fixed width) or
\simplealignedbox to set the width of the images.
\setupexternalfigures[location=default]
\defineframed[CombinationBox][frame=off,offset=none,loffset=3cm,roffset=3cm]
\starttext
\startplacefigure[location={force,none}]
\startcombination[nx=1,ny=2,align={last,hz,hanging},style=\itx]
