Hi!
Is there are an easy way to get total number of pages/tables/figures
etc.? \getnumber[table] of \getnumber[figure] returns 0,
\getnumber[page] gives some irrelevant number. I've found command
\totalnumberofpages, is there are something similar for others? It would
be great to also automatically change the following word as in:
1 figure, but 2 figures
Is there support for that in ConTeXt?

Best Regards,
Oleg Kolosov

No, but it is easy to define this on your own. To Hans: Is
reading utilities not implemented in mkiv? The following works fine with
mkii but not with mkiv.
\def\noffigures {1}
\def\savenoffigures
{\savecurrentvalue{\noffigures}{\getnumber[figure]}}
\appendtoks \savenoffigures \to \everystoptext
\def\shownoffigures
{\noffigures\ %
\doifelse{\noffigures}{1}{figure}{figures}}
\starttext
This text has \shownoffigures.
\dorecurse{10}{\placefigure{something}{} \input knuth \endgraf }
\stoptext

in mkiv i load at everyjob time instead of everystarttext
this should work (patch in core-uti.mkiv) but i wonder why i used everyjob
% \to \everyjob
\to \everystarttext

As Hans explained the information is load earlier than in MkII but I can
show you why your definition can also fail in MkII.
\startcomponent myfile
\def\noffigures{1}
\def\savenoffigures
{\savecurrentvalue{\noffigures}{\getnumber[figure]}}
\appendtoks \savenoffigures \to \everystoptext
\def\shownoffigures{\noffigures}
This text has \shownoffigures.
\dorecurse{10}{\placefigure{something}{figure}}
\stopcomponent
This results always in 1 for the total number of figures.
A better definition for the countervalue is:
\def\shownoffigures
{\doifdefinedelse{noffigures}{\noffigures}{0}}
without the initial value for \noffigures.
Regards
Wolfgang
