This is probably not exactly what you want, however, one can use list= in \startplacefigure\stopplacefigure to differentiate between the figure caption and its listing in the list of figures.
\startplacefigure [title={Dutch scenery. \startitemize [n] \startitem A cow. \stopitem \startitem A mill. \stopitem \stopitemize}, list=Figure title, reference=fig:scenery]
\startcombination [2] {\externalfigure [cow] [width=.5\textwidth]} {a} {\externalfigure [mill] [width=.45\textwidth} {b} \stopcombination \stopplacefigure
A cow is shown in \in{figure} [fig:scenery]a.
Hi Alan, Thank you for your reaction and your suggestions. Indeed, it is not exactly what I envisaged. I would be happiest if there were a way to add a and b as a suffix to the number, like Figure 2a. With combinations it is easy to have a general Caption and specific captions for the components of the combination. But for the List of Figures I see no other possibility than, for instance "2 Dutch scenery. a. Cow, b. Mill". In fact I have no problems when I can make use of a combination, but, as I wrote, sometimes combinations are impossible for lack of space on the page. What you describe as a challenge for Hans could be perfect, I think, provided an itemization can be interrupted and continued on next page. (I tried your liitle code snippet but ConText would not have it.) Splitting a float combination might turn out to be simpler. Only I have no clue as to how to achieve that. Thanks again. Best regards, Robert
