Creating List with separate numbering

Creating List with separate numbering

[Nigel King]

Dear Contextnicians,
I would like a separate numbered list in this case called Problems. I have
created a small test file below. Unfortunately I cannot see how to get this
to number separately from section numbering. (I was not having any success
before using \definehead[Problems][section]


\definelist
    [Problems]
\definehead
    [Problems]
        [section]
\setuphead
    [Problems]
        [style=\ss\bf,color=red,before={\blank
        {\ss\bf\red Problem }},after={\qquad}]

\def\problem#1#2{{\par\Problems{#1}{\red #2}\par}}

\starttext
List of Problems\par\blank[big]
\placelist
    [Problems]
        [alternative=c,criterium=all,width=2em,interaction=all]
\blank[big]
\section{Tufte}
\input tufte
\problem{a first problem}{the first problem description}
\input tufte
\problem{a second problem}{second problem description}
\section{Another Tufte}
\stoptext

TIA

          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ that looks real messy -)

one solution is to count yourself and feed that number into the section 
handler:

\setuphead[Problems][ownnumber=yes,expansion=yes]

\newcounter\NigelsProblem

\def\problem#1#2%
   {\par
    \doglobal\increment\NigelsProblem
    \Problems{\NigelsProblem}{#1}{\red #2}
    \par}

but ... this does not give you what you want because now your sections 
count on

% use a lower level head

\definehead
   [Problem]
   [subsubsubsection]

% cleaned up

\setuphead
   [Problem]
   [style=\ss\bf,
    color=red,
    before=\blank]

% use a label text

\setuplabeltext
   [Problem=Problems ]

% use your own numbers

\setuphead
   [Problem]
   [ownnumber=yes]

% increment and feed

\newcounter\NigelsProblem

\def\problem#1%
   {\doglobal\increment\NigelsProblem
    \Problem{\NigelsProblem}{#1}}

% nicer here

\setuplist
   [Problem]
   [alternative=c,
    criterium=all,
    width=2em,
    interaction=all]

% the test

\starttext

List of Problems

\blank[big] \placelist[Problem] \blank[big]

\section{Tufte}

\input tufte

\problem{a first problem}{the first problem description}

\section{Another Tufte}

\input tufte

\problem{a second problem}{second problem description}

\stoptext

Hans,
Thanks very much this does exactly as wanted. Luckily the real document only
goes to subsubsection!

there are some 7 levels predefined but more are possible if needed, so 
subsubsubsubsub...
