Re: [NTG-context] References to itemize items

I'll try again: ConTeXt used to match the conversion style in a reference to the itemize item with the number/character of the item. Now it doesn't convert numbers to characters. Does this happen to anyone else? Example: \setupitemgroup[itemize][1][n] \setupitemgroup[itemize][2][a]

[NTG-context] References to itemize items

Hi, Under the beta version (ConTeXt ver: 2012.05.14 16:00 MKIV fmt: 2012.5.16), item numbers in references (with \in[..]) are not converted automatically in the way they used to be done under last year's current ConTeXt. I have macros that do something like below that no longer work. The

[NTG-context] Lists and alternative=command

I'd love help with this: I have list that uses alternative=command, and it stopped working when I switched from last year's TeXLive context to a recent beta. I've minimized the problem to this example: \definelist [MyList] \define[3]\MyListEntry{:#1:#2:#3:} \setuplist [MyList]

Hi, I'm a neophyte using last year's TeXLive context. An expert can probably improve my answer. Does this work for you?: \def\atPage[#1]% {\doifnot{\doifreferencefoundelse{#1}{\currentreferencepage}{?}}{\currentpage}% {\at[#1]}% } I adapted it from code in

Re: [NTG-context] Problem with \inmargin on \item lines

Hi, It is not a bug. It is standard TeX: a space counts after } and is ignored immediately after a control sequence such as \item. To override either, you have to be explicit, \ignorespaces as Hans suggested in your case and \ (backslash-space) in the other to put a space in. My preferred,

Re: [NTG-context] Problem Nesting defineitemgroups

You can use \startitemize[1] directly. (You can put it in a macro, so if you ever want to change the style of bullets, you just have to adjust the macro.) \startnlist \item Foo \startitemize[1] \item Some bullet item 1, \item Some bullet item 2. \stopitemize \item Baz \startnlist % start

Hi Stefan, I didn't know about \Word. It retried your example and it works as is in my version of ConTeXt, which is an earlier one that yours it seems. [Your other enumeration example, with way=bychapter etc., works the way you want, too.] Sorry, I don't think I can help. Perhaps one of
