figure captions in the margin

[Richard Weickelt <weickric@tu-cottbus.de>]

Hello,

I want to have captions for figures, listings and other stuff inside the
document margin. I saw that someone asked a very similar question 3 years
ago: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20061025.211202.c2e04f8c.en.html

Hans said, that he had already implemented that feature, but in fact it
still doesn't work. So the code

\setupcaptions[location=outermargin]
\starttext
\placefigure{Caption}{\framed{Figuur}}
\stoptext

still prints no caption at all. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and ConTeXt from the
repositories. Is this version too old?

Thank You.
Richard
