your number is also incremented in every pass (how many passes?). ;)

use something like this to take care of trial typesetting:

Peter,

Thanks for you input.  It works great and it would have take me forever to 
figure that one out!

Thanks,
Bart

[NTG-context] Numbers in Tables

2008-01-29 Thread Bart Wise
The code below defines a number and then on each row, displays then increments 
the number.  The number is defined and reset to 0 before the table is 
declared.  However, when the number is displayed in the table, it's not zero 
as expected, but some other number (usually between 3 and 9).  The reset at 
reset point #1 does reset the number to 0, but it doesn't stay that way when 
the table is declared.  The only thing I have found to work, is to define a 
row and column and put the reset there (see reset point #2).  

I would like to declare and reset the number outside of the table definition, 
but it doesn't seem to work.  What am I doing wrong?
