Re: [NTG-context] Increment an item number?
Thanks for the answers. I did in fact know about \incrementnumber, but I
couldn't find any information about the counter. Where would I find such
information, aside from asking on this mailgroup?
As for identifying each question and referring to it: that is an excellent
solution, but in fact I have only rarely to leave out an answer, and the
small amount of bookkeeping required is not at all onerous.
Thanks again,
Alasdair

Just a hint: however you do it, I think this is not the best approach.
you write:
I'm typing out solutions to questions in some student notes, and the
missing item is a question for which a written solution is not necessary.
If this is a recurrent task, i.e. if you regularly make up student
problems and then typeset the solutions, this approach is inefficient
because you're doing the book keeping yourself. If, for example, you
decide to delete one of the questions without written solution, you will
have to delete the \incrementnumber as well. It may be better if you let
ConTeXt do the book keeping: give every question a unique identitfier
like so
\startitem[p:1:2]
Problem?
\stopitem
and then typeset the solutions by referring back to this identifier:
\sym{\in[p:1:2]}
That way, the numbers in problems and solutions will always be correct,
even if you rearrange etc. (I often typeset such exercise stylesheets,
and after many years, that's my approach today.)

Re: [NTG-context] Increment an item number?
Hi Alasdair,
Maybe the following gives you what you want?
\starttext
\startitemize[n]
\item First question
\phantom{\item }
\item Third question
\phantom{\item }
\item Fifth question
\item Sixth question
\stopitemize
\stoptext
Best regards: OK

[NTG-context] Increment an item number?
What is the ConTeXt version of the LaTeX
\addtocounter{enumi}{1} ?
I want to increment my numbering in an itemize environment, so that the
list is typeset as
1. First item
2. Next item
3. Another item
5. Yet another
6. And so on
I'm typing out solutions to questions in some student notes, and the
missing item is a question for which a written solution is not necessary.
Thanks,
Alasdair
