Description

The first option defines the location of the caption relative to the figure itself. The option [location=right] e.g. puts the caption on the right of the figure. The values of the location can be combined, so that [location={right,low}] adjusts the caption position to be to the right of the figure and in a low vertical position.

Using option [way=bysection] resets the numbering to 1 at each new section, but does not prefix the numbers with the section number, to do that, use the following options: \setupcaptions[way=bysection,prefixsegments=section]

If one has only a small number of figures and wishes to label them sequentially from 1 to n, the following works: \setupcaptions[way=bytext, prefixsegments=none]

If you like to have a colon in your caption, try: \setupcaptions[suffix={:}]

If you don't like default captions that are driven by figure(table) width, try: \setupcaptions[minwidth=\textwidth, align=middle]

conversion works only in MkII, with MkIV numberconversion must be used.

Example

\setupcaption[style={\tfx\setupinterlinespace[line=10pt]}, headstyle=\rm, suffix={:}] The caption is smaller than the other text with 10pt interline spacing. The word 'figure' is switched from bold to roman regular and the suffix after figure is ':'.
