enumeration numbering in the margin, title in body text

enumeration numbering in the margin, title in body text

[Tobias Columbus]

Hi all,

I am new to ConTeXt and asked myself if it is possible to have only
the number of an enumeration in the margin and the title in `serried`
position. Here is an example of what I think:

margin  | text
---------------------------
        | blah blah
        | blah blah
     1.1| Definition (something): blah
        |
     1.2| Lemma: blah

After digging a while in the documentation and code, I came to the
conclusion that this is currently not possible. 
Then I tried some fiddling in the context code and this directly leads
to my second question: I modified the file strc-des.mkiv.
However, the changes seem to be ignored by my context binary. What 
did I do wrong? I also tried context --generate, but that also did not i
make context aware of my changes.

Any help would be appreciated
Tobias

\setupitemize [inmargin]

You have to recreate the format as well:

context --generate && context --make

The enumeration code is in strc-itm.mkvi, the file strc-des.mkvi (or strc-des.mkiv in older
versions) is for the description code.

You need “context --generate” only when you add new files.

@Wolfgang: You are mixing enumeration and item groups. The new enumeration 
code is in strc-enu.mkvi.

@Tobias: You can try playing around with titlecommand and numbercommand 
parameters.

D’oh!

Or simply use inmargin or leftmargin for the alternative key.

You can use the annotation module:

\usemodule[annotation]

\define[2]\EnumerationCommand
  {\inleft[scope=local,style=normal]{\placeannotationnumber}%
   \placeannotationtext\doifsomething{\placeannotationtitle}{\space(\placeannotationtitle)}:\space
   \placeannotationcontent}

\defineannotation[definition][text=Definition,alternative=command,command=\EnumerationCommand,prefixstopper=.]
\defineannotation[lemma][definition][text=Lemma,counter=definition]

\starttext

\chapter{Test}

blah blah
blah blah

\definition[title=something]{blah}

\lemma{blah}

\stoptext

Hi,

The annotation module works perfect. This is exactly what I thought
of. 

Thanks!
