Delimited continuations are the full ones.

The so-called full continuations lack the flexibility to put the delimiting prompt anywhere but the top-level entry point to the program or thread.

Delimited continuations are complete in the sense that they let the programmer control where the top is.

Put the delimiting prompt around the top-level startup function and you have a "full" continuation.
