offset for enumeration counter

offset for enumeration counter

[Philipp Gesang]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 804 bytes --]

Hi all,

some specification requests that a numbered list start at
arbitrary counter values. I'm using the following line after
“\startitemize[...]” to accomplish this:

··8<·····························································
\setnumber[itemgroup:itemize]{42}
··8<·····························································

Now I'd rather avoid this kind of brute interference with context
internals so I'd like to ask whether there is a recommended
high-level mechanism that I could use instead?

Thanks for your help,
Philipp

\starttext

\startitemize[n]
\dorecurse{4}{\item text}
\stopitemize

\startitemize[n,continue]
\dorecurse{4}{\item text}
\stopitemize

\startitemize[n][start=30]
\dorecurse{4}{\item text}
\stopitemize

\stoptext

Great, that's exactly what I was looking for. Now that we're at
it: actually the spec wants this on per-item basis. This would
amount to having another (apart from the reference) argument to
“\item”, e.g.

···8<····························································
\startitemize[n]
\item[n=1]  foo 
\item[n=2]  bar 
\item[n=3]  foo 
\item[n=5]  bar 
\item[n=8]  foo 
\item[n=13] bar 
\stopitemize
···8<····························································

Regardless of if there's a practical use for that: is this
possible as well without resorting  to repeated \setnumber'ing?

Thanks again! I'll see what I can use this for.
