Unable to use example from Excursion

Unable to use example from Excursion

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

I am going through "ConTeXt an excursion", but I cann't get the example 
of table 11.9 (page 34, source pp 32-33) to work.
I always get an error:
------------------------
! Argument of \docheckifiteminsetelse has an extra }.
<inserted text>
                \par
<to be read again>
                   }
\@@kjtabletitle ->Use of \type {\setuptables }
                                              .
\doif #1#2->\edef \!!stringa {#1
                                }\edef \!!stringb {#2}\ifx \!!stringa 
\!!str...
\dostructurecountercomponent ...\c!title }\v!none
                                                  {\setfalse 
\hasstructureco...
\docompletefloat ...c!title ={#4},\c!bookmark =][]
                                                  \globallet 
\currentfloatnu...
...
l.420 \stopcombination
                     
?
------------------------
I have tried to comment different parts of the code, but this didn't 
help (even if the error changed).
The code is exactly the code from the book (copy/paste from the .pdf)

Further, I do not see the effect of \setupcaption[style=boldslanted] in 
example 11.10 (pp 34-35)

I am using the minimals distribution, MKIV on Windows XP SP3.

Thanks for the help,

Alain

A bug. \type inside a table caption does not work. Minimal example:


\starttext

\placetable
     [here,forece]
     {Use of \type{\setuptables}}
     {}

\stoptext

Typo in the manual. It should be

\setupcaptions[style=...]

or

\setupcaption[table][style=...]

if you just want to change the captions for tables.

Indeed. However it works fine with mkii. More generally the bug in mkiv concerns \type within \placeFLOAT, such as \placefigure:

\starttext
\placefigure
	{Use of \type{\placefigure}}	% <--- this doesn't work
	{\externalfigure[lenna.jpg]}

\placefigure
	{Use of {\tt \backslash placefigure}}	% <--- this works
	{\externalfigure[lenna.jpg]}
\stoptext

Best regards: OK

The bug is still present in  2010.03.18. Here is a minimal example:

\definetype[typeTEX][option=tex, style=type]
\starttext

\placefigure
   [top,bottom]
   [fig:something]
   {Do \type{\undefined} and \typeTEX{\undefined} work?}
   {}

\stoptext

which gives

Can’t resist.

{Do \expandafter\type\expandafter{\noexpand\undefined} and
