Hi,
One can select between short and long figure captions
(for an index of figures and the figure display itself, respectively)
using a selector. The syntax is:
\defineselector [caption] [max=2,n=2] % alternate {short}{long} captions
\starttext
\placefigure [here] [fig:reference]
{\select{caption}
{short caption}
{long caption: bla, bla, bla.}
}
{\externalfigure [myfigure]}
\startchapter [title={Figure index}]
\setupselector [caption] [n=1]
\placelistoffigures [criterium=all]
\stopchapter
\stoptext
I find \select{caption} to be awkward
as the label caption is not typeset
(the convention of text between {}).
Should not the syntax be rather \select[caption]{short}{long}
or else \selectcaption{short}{long}?
What do the experts think?
this one had to think a while to recognize the mkii selector mechanism
in mkiv we do
\starttext
\startplacefigure[location=here,reference=fig:reference,title={lots of
bla},list={less bla}]
\externalfigure [myfigure]
\stopplacefigure
\startchapter [title={Figure index}]
\placelistoffigures [criterium=all]
\stopchapter
\stoptext
but i saw that i don't pass the list entry ... will be in the next beta
