Re: Numbers in heads and captions

Hello,

I managed to find the answers by reading the manual and my archive of this 
list -- so if you know what to look for, you could do so too!

This is easy:
  \def\myHead#1{#1)}
  \setuphead[section][command=\myHead]

another easy one:
  \setupcaptions[way=bytext]

I don't know the answer to this one.  Unfortunately there is no 
numbercommand for \setupcations ...

Here is a small document, that shows the above in use:

\setuppapersize
  [S6][S6]

\setupsection[section-3][conversion=character]
\def\myHead#1{#1)}
\setuphead[section][command=\myHead]

\startsectionblockenvironment [bodypart]
  \setupcaptions[way=bytext]
\stopsectionblockenvironment

\startsectionblockenvironment [appendix]
  \setupcaptions[way=bysection]
\stopsectionblockenvironment

\starttext

\startbodymatter
  \section{test} \placefigure{}{}
  \section{Eins}
  \section{Zwei}
\stopbodymatter

\startappendices
  \section{test} \placefigure{}{}
\stopappendices

\stoptext

Yours
Uwe
