Re: [NTG-context] counter values as label names
Thomas and Aditya, thank you both for your replies! As Thomas already
suspected it was a mere typo that \advance\entrycounter lied outside of
the macro definition - sorry for the unnecessary confusion.
I tried to compile Aditya's attempt (MKIV ver: 2010.12.31) but receive
the following errors:
references : unknown reference [][lr:b:line:0]
! Missing control sequence inserted.
inserted text \inaccessible
I am not sure what you want to do,
My simple idea - being a total newbie to macro programming - was to
create an automation of the following, in which the unique numbers in
the label names would be inserted by a counter:
\starttext
\startlinenumbering
This is a sample %
% wrapper macro would start here
\startline[line:1]\pagereference[page:1]lemma\stopline[line:1]
\footnote{\at[page:1] \inline[line:1] some comment}%
% and end here
. \crlf
And this is another
\startline[line:2]\pagereference[page:2]one\stopline[line:2]\footnote{\at[page:2]
\inline[line:2] another comment}. \crlf
\stoplinenumbering
\bigskip
Endnotes
\placefootnotes
\stoptext
But probably my whole approach is completely out of the (Con)TeXt-Way of
thinking… (May it be possible to collect the endnotes into various
buffers and recurse over them at the end?)
Thanks for the hints,
Daniel

Dear list,
this seems a really basic question (and probably not even strictly
ConTeXt-focused) - so please accept my apologies…
I'm trying to construct a macro which first creates two labels in the text
(\start/stopline and \pagereference) with the value of a counter as the label
name and then a footnote which prints the page and line numbers of those two.
Supposedly because of my limited understanding of TeX's expansion mechanism I
haven't been able to get things working with this code:
\setuplinenumbering[%
location=inner,
step=5,
method=page,
style=\tfxx,
align=left,
distance=1.5cm,
width=0.3cm]
\setupfootnotes[
location=text,
numberconversion=empty,
paragraph=yes,
]
\definenumber[entrycounter]
\setnumber[entrycounter]{0}
\def\appentry#1#2{%
\startline[line:\getnumber[entrycounter]]%
\pagereference[page:\getnumber[entrycounter]]%
#1%
\stopline[line:\getnumber[entrycounter]]%
\footnote{{\bf \at[page:\getnumber[entrycounter]]}%
\inline[line:\getnumber[entrycounter]] #1] #2}%
\incrementnumber[entrycounter]%
}
By now I tried to adapt a LaTeX-only-solution which Uwe Lueck suggested on
the texhax-mailinglist some years ago (cf.
http://tug.org/pipermail/texhax/2006-July/006599.html) but failed quite
miserably.
I also tried the same with plain TeX registers (\newcount\entrycounter
\entrycounter=0 etc.) instead of ConTeXt counters.
Could it be easier to stuff the \pagereference and \startline-commands into
before= and after= of setupfootnotes?
Could anyone please give me a hint on this?
The most important hint: please build test files that will compile. Take out
anything which isn't relevant to your problem. Knowledgeable people on this
list are quite unlikely to wade through code snippets. This page
http://www.minimalbeispiel.de/mini-en.html is somewhat biased towards LaTeX,
but you should get the drift.
The purpose of this: I'm trying to use mkIV's page and linenumbering
facilities for a critical apparatus (in this case endnotes with page and line
references). As I didn't succeed with Hans Hagen's recent suggestion (cf.
http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg49695.html)
Again, please provide relevant information. Didn't work is not enough
information - maybe the color of your mousepad isn't quite right, maybe you
forgot a closing brace, who knows?
Finally: is the format of your apparatus (endnotes) a requirement? You can try
and search the mail archive for linenotes and have a look at strc-lnt.mkiv.
This will build one (or more) apparatus at the bottom of the page; I'm not sure
if those can be selected in endnotes.

Tricky. I can't figure out how to do it. First, the code you write can never
work. You define a \newcount and set it to 0. Before your text starts, you
increase this count, so now its value is 1. Then, you never touch this value
again, so effectively, all your references expand to page:1 and line:1. (And,
on top of it all, your file has only one line since \\ doesn't start a new
line.) But even if you try to increment your counter within the definition of
your macro, it won't work because it will be advanced and frozen by the time
your footnotes are typeset. So this approach will not work, I'm afraid. I'm not
sure this can be done in ConTeXt.
