Issues with the documentation:
- In “ConTeXt Commands”, it says on page 224 that \setupenumeration
inherits from \setupcounter; but in “ConTEXt reference manual", it
says on page 246 that \setupenumerations inherits from \setupdescriptions.
- In “ConTEXt reference manual”, the key “location” for
\defineenumeration should probably replaced by “alternative”. Right
now, all examples on page 247 are unaffected by this setting and hence
look the same.
ConTeXt contains two different interface files, a) a old one
(cont-en.xml) which was written for MkII and extended of the time with a
few new command introduced by MkIV (e.g. \definefontfeature) and b) a
new one (i-context.xml) which was rewritten with MkIV as its base.
Most of the existing documents use the old file which contains either
wrong keys (e.g. location vs. alternative) or document no longer
existing functions (compare counter related settings in both files).
The new file takes also into account internal changes for commands, e.g.
in MkII note descriptions are based on enumerations which are itself a
extension to the description commands. In MkIV notations (new name for
note descriptions), enumerations and descriptions all use a internal
mechanism called constructions with extra functions for each instance.
