Re: [NTG-context] Skipping item numbers in an itemized list?
Thanks all, for your answers and discussion to my query. For the record,
I'm writing up answers to a long list of questions, some of which don't need
a written answer (just asking the reader to observe something). A quick
check has verified than \noitem does exactly what I want.
Thanks again,
Alasdair

Well I have long stopped to wonder why people sometimes needs
"holes" in a numbered list. It sometimes happens. Perhaps the OP
want to make a list of name of occupants of houses where some
numbers haven't yet been assigned.

This is ok if the complete list is not too long and when you know
which numbers the "holes" should have, but I would suspect that
Alasdair want to be able to increment somewhere the actual counter
by 1 or 2 without having to check the actual number first.

I would say that's what Alasdair wants.

You can't be serious ;-). Do you really think one should enter all
numbers manually only because someone wants to skip e.g. the number
"13"?
You can't be serious ;) Do you really think that one should manually
increment a counter. What's next: using {\bfa Some title} for section
titles?
More seriously, if there is a logic behind such a counter, then you can
use:
\defineconversion[fancy][1,2,5,6,8]
% or a TeX or Lua command that generates the count
\startitemize[fancy]
There must be a counter around and a way to advance it.
If you insist,
\setstructurecounter[\currentitemgroupcounter]{5}
There is no interface to increment the counter by arbitrary amount, but
you can define your own interface to structures.counters.add:
\unprotected
\def\addtostructurecounter [#1]#2{\ctxlua{structures.counters.add
("\@@thestructurecounter{#1}",1,#2)}}
and then use
\addtostructurecounter[\currentitemgroupcounter]{2}

What about the following?
\starttext
\startitemize[n]
\item one
\noitem
\item three
\stopitemize
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Skipping item numbers in an itemized list?
Hi Alasdair,
Is this what you want?
\starttext
\startitemize[n]
\dorecurse{4}{\item text}
\stopitemize
\input knuth.tex
\startitemize[n,continue]
\dorecurse{4}{\item text}
\stopitemize
\startitemize[n][start=17]
\dorecurse{4}{\item text}
\stopitemize
\stoptext
I have this from an answer by Wolfgang S.
Best regards: OK

[NTG-context] Skipping item numbers in an itemized list?
Hello,
The effect I want is something like:
1. First item
2. Second item
5. Fifth item
6. Sixth item
8. Eight item
and so on. Every now and then I need to skip a number or two. In LaTeX I
could do this with \addtocounter{enumi}{2} - but how is this done in
ConTeXt?
Thanks very much,
Alasdair
