Re: counter values as label names

[Daniel Schopper <daniel.schopper@aon.at>]

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
