numbered exercises

numbered exercises

[Henning Hraban Ramm via ntg-context]

Hi, I’m typesetting a textbook that contains numbered and indented exercises. They must not float.

Which structure should I use for them? There must be an easy answer, but I draw a blank.

At the moment I’m using heads, derived from 'section', but the exercises should have independent numbers, and I’m unsure how I should setup the indentation. With 'narrower' the numbered titles would be difficult.


\setuplabeltext[en][Exercise=Exercise~]

\definehead[Exercise][section]
\setuphead[Exercise][
  bodypartlabel=Exercise,
  number=yes,
  ownnumber=yes, % ??
  way=bytext, % ??
]

\starttext

\startExercise[title={Something to do},reference=ex:something]

This can have several paragraphs and maybe images etc.

\stopExercise

\stoptext

Use an enumeration.

Thank you, but how can I define a title/caption for the enumeration and its reference?

\defineenumeration
   [Exercise]
   [text=Exercise,
    title=yes,
    titleleft=,
    titleright=,
    way=bytext,
    margin=1em]

\starttext

\samplefile{lorem}

\startExercise [title={Something to do},reference=ex:something]
\samplefile{lorem}
\stopExercise

\stoptext

Hi Hraban,

Here’s an example from my textbook which might be helpful. I use this enumeration for example problems, but exercises could be similar. You have access to the rest of the textbook, so feel free to grab anything useful.

-Gavin


In the environment file:

% Example Problems
\defineenumeration[example]
\setupenumeration[example][
	margin=no,
	headstyle=\ss\sc,
	text=Example, % This text is part of the number, e.g. "Example 2.3"
	style=\ss,
	alternative=serried,
	title=no, % This would be a title after the number
	prefix=yes, % Turns on the prefix
	prefixsegments=chapter, % makes the prefix the chapter number
	way=bychapter, % Numbers within each chapter
	%margin=standard, % Indents block on the left
	width=fit, % Makes the space between the number and the question a good size
	indentnext=no,
]
\definedelimitedtext[solution][
	spacebefore=medium,
	spaceafter=medium,
	style=\rm\it,
	leftmargin=standard, % Indents block on the left
	rightmargin=yes, % Indents block on the right
	indentnext = no,
]


In the text:

\startexample[ex:organ]
What interval is produced by two consecutive thirds?
\startsolution
We wish to add a third to a third.
\startformula
	\text{3rd} + \text{3rd} = 2\units{steps} + 2\units{steps} = 4\units{steps} = \text{5th}
\stopformula
Two thirds produce a fifth.
\stopsolution
\stopexample

Thank you, I didn’t even try, since the wiki looked like it wasn’t possible. Sorry!
I’ll wikify that.

Here’s what I have now (result attached):

\define[1]\ÜbungNrCmd{\inmargin{\offset[y=3em]{\rotate[rotation=90]{\SectionFont #1}}}}
  
\defineenumeration[Übung][
  text=Übung,
  title=yes,
  titleleft=,
  titleright=,
  titledistance=-1em,
  titlestyle=\SectionFont,
  %numberstyle=\SectionFont,
  numbercommand=\ÜbungNrCmd,
  way=bytext,
  margin=1em,
  before={\blank[2*line]},
]


Now I’d like to have a vertical line beside the text, starting below the title.

And because I want to use the “sketchy“ lines we discussed a while ago (I needed them for the same book), it must be a MetaPost-drawn line.

What’s the right approach? Overlay? Textbackground?

Thank you, that also answers my last question.
