Completelistoffigures, help needed!

[G.C.H.M. Verhaag]

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)

working on the funding angle right now (never easy and no guarantees), but  
I suspect that once mkiv is relatively complete (another 18 months or so?)  
we'll be in a better position to write that book.

Best wishes

  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

The link to the wiki gives indeed a clear description of the cropping 
feature. Just great, it works nicely when applying it to my list of 
figures! Thanks for your help!
