Right, but what confused me was that I expected the closing brace in numbercommand={\gobbleoneargument} to bound what numbercommand was set to. > If you really want a newline as in case 1, then consider case 4: I'm happy to put the ] on the same line. I had ended up with case 1 by mistake after a bunch of experiments with exercise numbering, and then it took me a while to figure out the change that was causing the error. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1. _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
