Hi,

Is there any way to set the maximum width of a caption? I would like
to make sure that no figure caption exceeds, say, 75% of text width.

Here's an example of "bad behaviour" in the second figure:

\starttext

\reservefigure
[width=5cm,height=2cm,frame=on][force]
{Some very small figure with not too much text: OK}

\input tufte

This can hardly be distinguished from the main text:

\reservefigure
[width=\textwidth,height=.2\textwidth,frame=on][force]
{\input tufte}

\input tufte

Desired behaviour:

\placefigure[force]{\input tufte}
{\hbox to
.75\textwidth{\hss\framed[width=\textwidth,height=.2\textwidth]{}\hss}}

\input tufte

\stoptext

I've seen an option maxwidth, but only in connection to
\externalfigure[...][maxwidth=...].

I can cheat as on the third figure above, but that seems like an ugly
approach to me.


can you test this a bit:

\unprotect

\setupcaptions
   [\c!maxwidth=.75\hsize]

Thank you very much. The patch that you sent me for strc-flt.mkvi
seems to work as expected on a long document with many figures.

The only exception are one-liners. The following creates a caption
that extends to almost the whole text width:

     \placefigure
       % Why are there two spaces between "dummy" and "text"?
       {Some \dorecurse{7}{dummy } text}
       {\externalfigure[dummy][width=\textwidth,height=.2\textwidth]}

As soon as slightly more text is added, it shrinks to the desired text width.

oneliners have a separate branch


(But then again I'm not sure if that is a bug or a feature ;)
