[NTG-context] Issue with Custom Conversion Code in Latest Version of ConTeXt

[Jorge Manuel]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 631 bytes --]

Dear ConTeXt Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well.
In the latest version of ConTeXt, the following piece of code no longer works as expected. I use it to define a custom legal numbering format for itemized lists:

\def\legalconversion#1{
 \dorecurse{\numexpr\currentitemlevel-1}{%
 \namedstructurecounter{itemgroup}{\currentparentitemgroup}{\recurselevel}.}%
 #1%
}

\defineconversion[legal][\legalconversion]

Could you kindly advise on how to modify or fix this code to be compatible with the current version of ConTeXt?
Thank you very much for your assistance and support!
Best regards,

Jorge

Can you show a complete (non) working example.

Do you want this kind of numbering for itemize?

\starttext

\startitemize[n,repeat][stopper=,width=\widthofstring{0},distance=.5em]
   \item 1
   \startitemize[n,repeat][stopper=,width=\widthofstring{0.0},distance=.5em]
     \item 1.1
     \startitemize[n][stopper=,width=\widthofstring{0.0.0},distance=.5em]
       \item 1.1.1
     \stopitemize
   \stopitemize
\stopitemize

\stoptext

Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. However, regarding multiple-choice questions, I would like the options to appear simply as A) rather than 1.1.1.A). Additionally, Is it possible to display each digit of the item numbering in boxes, similar to the style used in Pearson exams? Example: |1|.|1|." 
Like this:  https://filestore.aqa.org.uk/sample-papers-and-mark-schemes/2023/june/AQA-74051-QP-JUN23.PDF

Have a nice day

Thanks in advance.

Jorge

Don't use the "repeat" option when you don't want repeated counter values.

> Additionally, Is it possible to display each digit of the item numbering in boxes, similar to the style used in Pearson exams? Example: |1|.|1|."

This requires a custom number conversion, the following example works 
only for single digits only.

%%%% begin example
\define[1]\BoxedNumber
   {\inframed[width=3ex]{\convertnumber{n}{#1}}}

\defineconversion [BoxedNumber] [\BoxedNumber]

\starttext

\startitemize[BoxedNumber,fit,repeat][stopper=,distance=\spaceamount]
   \item xxx
   \startitemize[BoxedNumber,fit][stopper=,distance=\spaceamount]
     \item xxx
   \stopitemize
\stopitemize

\stoptext
%%%% end example

> Like this:  https://filestore.aqa.org.uk/sample-papers-and-mark-schemes/2023/june/AQA-74051-QP-JUN23.PDF

For question blocks like here you want to use an enumeration environment 
rather than itemize.

Wolfgang

Good morning to all,

Thank you for the code to insert numbers into boxes. However, I can't prevent the multiple-choice questions from repeating labels like 1.1.A). It looks very bad. How can I control this behavior? Thank you.

%%% sample code
\define[1]\BoxedNumber{\inframed[width=3ex]{\convertnumber{n}{#1}}}

\defineconversion [BoxedNumber] [\BoxedNumber]

\starttext

\startitemize[BoxedNumber,fit,repeat][stopper=,distance=\spaceamount]
   \item xxx
   \startitemize[BoxedNumber,fit][stopper=,distance=\spaceamount]
     \item multiple choice
    	\startitemize[A, columns, two, random][stopper={)},style=bold]
 		\item choice 1
		 \item choice 2
		 \item choice 3
		 \item choice 4
	 \stopitemize

   \stopitemize
\stopitemize

Add norepeat:

\startitemize[BoxedNumber,norepeat,fit][stopper=,distance=\spaceamount]

>       \item multiple choice
>       \startitemize[A, columns, two, random][stopper={)},style=bold]
>    \item choice 1

You have to replace \item with \startitem ... \stopitem to make use of 
the random option, i.e.

\startitem choice 1 \stopitem

To achieve a norepeat in a specific itemize block, I need to introduce the norepeat at a higher level. This affects all the children of that itemize. See the example below, please. In the multiple-choice block, I want to avoid repetition, but afterward, I want to restore the default behavior.

\define[1]\BoxedNumber{\inframed[width=3ex]{\convertnumber{n}{#1}}}

\defineconversion [BoxedNumber] [\BoxedNumber]

\starttext

\startitemize[BoxedNumber,fit,repeat][stopper=,distance=\spaceamount]
   \item xxx
   \startitemize[BoxedNumber,fit, norepeat][stopper=,distance=\spaceamount]
     \item multiple choice
 \startitemize[A, columns, two, random, fit][stopper={)},style=bold] %%
 \item choice 1
 \item choice 2
 \item choice 3
 \item choice 4
 \stopitemize

 \item normal question 1
 \startitemize[BoxedNumber, repeat] %%
 \item question 1 \par\thinrules[n=2]
 \item question2 \par\thinrules[n=2]

 \stopitemize


   \stopitemize

I applied a trick: I created a phantom itemize.

\define[1]\BoxedNumber{\inframed[width=3ex]{\convertnumber{n}{#1}}}

\defineconversion [BoxedNumber] [\BoxedNumber]

\starttext

\startitemize[BoxedNumber,fit,repeat][stopper=,distance=\spaceamount]

   \startitemize[BoxedNumber,fit, repeat][stopper=,distance=\spaceamount]

 \startitemize[norepeat]
 \item Your choice: \_\_\_\_
 \startitemize[A, columns, two, random, fit][stopper={)},style=bold] %%
 \item choice 1
 \item choice 2
 \item choice 3
 \item choice 4
 \stopitemize
 \stopitemize

 \item normal question 1
 \startitemize[BoxedNumber, repeat] %%

You can use an enumeration to have more control about the numbering and 
spacing/width of the counter.

%%%% begin example
\define[1]\BoxedNumber
   {\inframed[width=3ex]{\convertnumber{n}{#1}}}

\defineconversion [BoxedNumber] [\BoxedNumber]

\defineenumeration
   [Question]
   [text=,
    alternative=hang,
    width=broad,
    numberconversion=BoxedNumber]

\starttext

\startQuestion
   xxx
   \startsubQuestion
     multiple choice
     \startitemize[A,columns,tworandom][stopper={)},style=bold]
       \startitem choice 1 \stopitem
       \startitem choice 2 \stopitem
       \startitem choice 3 \stopitem
       \startitem choice 4 \stopitem
     \stopitemize
   \stopsubQuestion
   \startsubQuestion
     normal question 1
     \startsubsubQuestion
       question 1 \par\thinrules[n=2]
     \stopsubsubQuestion
     \startsubsubQuestion
       question2 \par\thinrules[n=2]
     \stopsubsubQuestion
   \stopsubQuestion
\stopQuestion

\stoptext
