I'm glad to know there's a demand for this book. Hopefully soon I'll upload a draft of it to GitLab, so if there's anything that you learned that you would like to contribute to this book, you would be able to do so. I personally would be very happy if someone would give me examples of things

Oh dear... The serried alternative does indeed solve the second "bug". And to answer your question, I literally encountered this problem in one of my own documents, so yes, it's a real world problem... And also good to know the explanation of why the counter acts weird. I'll also check out

Thank you Sir Coleman. I’m a Context beginner and I’d love a good book introducing me to Context. I’ve wasted many hours trying to figure out how to do things that turned out to be simple. The answer is often/sometimes buried in the documentation, and what would really help me is a book that

Acknowledged. However, this does reinforce my point, that the documentation needs to be updated. The examples on the wiki still use \getcounter, and naturally they all fail to compile. Hence, my ambition to create a book to serve as the documentation, which I find is a better medium for
