Subject: [NTG-context] Numbered Itemlist With Interruption
Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2023 20:21:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <75A21E06-84AA-4224-82B8-5E7C833BE8CB@ca.rr.com> (raw)

I am trying to have two numbered itemizations, with a paragraph in between, such that the second list starts where the first left off, without having to manually calculate the new start point.  The following does not work, and I do not understand why.

	Mike


\starttext
\definecounter[mynumber][]
\startitemize[n]
\item The first item.
\item The second item
\item Item number \currentitemnumber{}, the last one.
\setcounter[mynumber][\currentitemnumber]
\stopitemize

The \type{\getnumber[mynumber]} value is \getnumber[mynumber].
\incrementcounter[mynumber]

And now the big finish, start at \getnumber[mynumber]:
\startitemize[n][start=\getnumber[mynumber]] % WHY DOES THIS FAIL? 
\item Picking up where we left off.

\item And all is well.
\stopitemize
Done!
\stoptext
