Hi friends,
In David's mail I found one of the problem I had been thinking of too,
and I tried his code. Unfortionately, it does not work.
I don't need it for math, but for case descriptions.
A case consists of the following elements:
Case 1 Eating fruit is healthy
Text text text - case description --
Questions:
1. abcd
2. efgh
....
Answers:
1. aaa bb
2. dderere
...
Case 2 Everything about vitamins
...
The elements themselves I can put in blocks in order to be able to
separate the q's and a's.
What I am wondering about is how to include the title in the macro.
It does not seem very difficult, but I can't figure out how.
The theorem environment seemed promising, but David's suggestion does
not process. Has anyone an idea?
Kind regards,
Robert

Hello Taco,

:-), that's great :-).
In the meantime, I solved the second part, i.e., adding the additional
describing text. It goes somehow like this (well, it's a hack, but it
works):
% MathParagraph is the enumeration (it ensures references and numbering,
% and typesetting all the texts). In command, it calls a macro that refers
% to \MathParagraphType etc.
\def\startLemma{\dosingleempty\dostartLemma}
\def\dostartLemma[#1]#2 {%
\def\MathParagraphType{Lemma}
\def\MathParagraphName{#2}
\def\MathParagraphList{MathParagraphs}
\iffirstargument
\startMathParagraph[#1]
\else
\startMathParagraph
\fi
}
\let\stopLemma\stopMathParagraph
So I can use
\startLemma[reference]{Algorithm xyz terminates}
...
\stopLemma
I came to the idea to misuse command= to typeset the header and write to
the list, it is given an argument containing the number of the enumeration.
Anyway, it is not easy to feed it into \expanded{\writetolist...} as the
argument is something with \edef and a pile of pretty ugly macros :-), so I
still use \precedingsectionnumber\numberMathParagraph :-(
To sum up, a good way to obtain current enumeration number (in a form that
goes into lists, etc.) would be completely enough, provided that one
writes hacks to solve the rest (and does end up finding the real macro
names with \tracingmacros=1 :-)). Creating something like
enumerateddescription (a description with names and possibility to write
lists) would be much nicer, of course :-))
Thank you very much,
D.A.
P.S.: Hans said once that a Dutch mathematical journal is typeset with
ConTeXt. Do you have an idea how they typeset theorems?
