Re: A few puzzling problems (bugs?) with enumerations

[Mathieu Boespflug <0xbadcode@gmail.com>]

Ok so after reading the source code of strc-des.mkiv, I found that
contrary to earlier documentation such as

http://www.ntg.nl/maps/36/09.pdf

it is not the 'number' parameter that should be used to share
numbering but the 'counter' parameter. After fixing that in my code,
theorems now have proper numbers and references to theorems work
properly too. However,

\starttheorem[number=no]
  blah
\stoptheorem

and

\starttheorem[-]
  blih
\stoptheorem

still don't work as expected inside sections, and I still have problem
1 listed in one of my previous emails, namely


Any ideas?

On a sidenote, I would like to contribute to the wiki or whatever is
the main documentation source of the ConTeXt project something to
document those parameters that are specific de \setupenumerations. The
context reference manual and the wiki both just refer to
\setupdescriptions yet there are a number of parameters that don't
exist for \setupdescriptions, such as number, counter, prefix,
prefixcomponents, etc.

Many thanks,

Mathieu
