Hello,
The effect I want is something like:
1. First item
2. Second item
5. Fifth item
6. Sixth item
8. Eight item
and so on. Every now and then I need to skip a number or two.
In LaTeX I could do this with \addtocounter{enumi}{2} - but how
is this done in ConTeXt?
\starttext
\startitemize
\sym{1.} First item
\sym{2.} Second item
\sym{5.} Fifth item
\sym{6.} Sixth item
\sym{8.} Eight item
\stopitemize
\stoptext
You can't be serious ;-). Do you really think one should enter all
numbers manually only because someone wants to skip e.g. the number
"13"?
You can't be serious ;) Do you really think that one should manually
increment a counter. What's next: using {\bfa Some title} for section
titles?
More seriously, if there is a logic behind such a counter, then you can
use:
\defineconversion[fancy][1,2,5,6,8]
% or a TeX or Lua command that generates the count
\startitemize[fancy] ....
There must be a counter around and a way to advance it.
If you insist,
\setstructurecounter[\currentitemgroupcounter]{5}
There is no interface to increment the counter by arbitrary amount, but
you can define your own interface to structures.counters.add:
\unprotected
\def\addtostructurecounter [#1]#2{\ctxlua{structures.counters.add
("\@@thestructurecounter{#1}",1,#2)}}
and then use
\addtostructurecounter[\currentitemgroupcounter]{2}
