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?
Alan
