combinations and captions

combinations and captions

[Hans van der Meer]

The setup of captions (\setupcaptions) seems to be independent of the  
captions in the members placed within \startcombination ...  
\stopcombination.
I have a feeling that these captions also can be generally setup, but  
I cannot find the corresponding macros.
Someone who can point me to these?

yours sincerely,
dr. H. van der Meer

There is a \setupcombinations, but it is not nearly as powerful as
the \setupcaptions command for standalone captions.

i'll add style/color to combinations; regarding your remarks: keep in mind 
that combinations are also used without place...

btw, this mechanism is extended recently, location={top,left} keys and so

[there is now also a \definecombination]

combinations and captions

[fiëé visuëlle]

I wonder, why \setupcaptions doesn't work with combinations:

\setupcaptions[number=no, style={\tfx\ss}, align=right]
\setupcombinations[width=fit, align=right, style={\tfx\ss}]

\placefigure[]{none}%
{\startcombination[2]
	{\externalfigure[hammarskjoeld]}{Dag Hammarskjöld}
	{\externalfigure[kofi-dhf-grab]}{Kofi Annan am Grabe Dag Hammarskjölds}
\stopcombination}


"style" in \setupcombinations doesn't work, and it isn't inherited from 
\setupcaptions either. "align" would be superfluous in 
\setupcombinations, if a combination's subcaptions would use the 
\setupcaptions settings. Otherwise (less logical) \setupcombinations 
should support "style".
Or is it my fault?
