Dear ConTeXt Users,
Last week I posted a completelistoffigures question, but unfortunately
nobody responded to it! That's why I give it another try, because I
don't know how to tackle this problem.
I'd like to generate a list of figures that only have a caption
description, but no figure (\setupcaptions[...,number=no,....]) number.
Using the setupcaptions command in the preamble with the number=no
option yields only the title Figures of the list of figures, nothing
more! However, when I change the number option of the setupcaptions
command to yes, the list is generated correctly. But I don't want a
figure number to appear in the caption of a figure! The figures appear
throughout a book I'm currently writing using ConTeXt.
Is there a way to accomplish the desired effect using the
completelistoffigures command?
Please can anybody give a hint! Thanks!
Regards,
Gerard

Hi Gerard,
you can use the following method, it is very dirty but it works and
give you what you want.
\setupcaption[figure][distance=\zeropoint]
\defineconversion[gobble][\gobbleoneargument]
\setupnumber[figure][conversion=gobble]
\setuplabeltext[figure=]
\starttext
\completelistoffigures
\page
\placefigure{First Figure}{\blackrule[width=4cm,height=2cm]}
\placefigure{Second Figure}{\blackrule[width=3cm,height=5cm]}
\stoptext
Wolfgang

Ah.. our stalwart gangster Wolfgang, always the master of dirty tricks. If
we ever finish The ConTeXtbook you'll have to do Appendix~D ;-)

well, this is a valid dirty trick because the conversion interface is
not likely to change (for wolfgang: there is a predefined 'empty'
conversion for this purpose, introduced not that long ago, so maybe not
present everywhere)

Dear ConTeXt Users,
Thanks to those that contributed to this thread! The code
\setupcaption[figure][distance=\zeropoint]
\defineconversion[gobble][\gobbleoneargument]
\setupnumber[figure][conversion=gobble]
\setuplabeltext[figure=]
just did the trick, but I don't understand why! Maybe I shouldn't bother
at the moment! By the way, am I right in saying that the interaction
feature of the list doesn't work when using this trick?
Well, I've one more question related to the list of figures.
Is there a way to truncate a long caption to a maximum of just no more
than a fraction of the length of a textline and indicate the truncation
by for example a few dots (...)?
Something like:
A very long figure caption truncated just here...
pagenumber
Regards,
Gerard
