Hello,
The effect I want is something like:
1. First item
2. Second item
5. Fifth item
6. Sixth item
8. Eight item
and so on. Every now and then I need to skip a number or two. In LaTeX I
could do this with \addtocounter{enumi}{2} - but how is this done in
ConTeXt?
Thanks very much,
Alasdair

Do you really think one should enter all > numbers manually only because someone wants to skip e.g. the number > "13"? You can't be serious ;) Do you really think that one should manually increment a counter. What's next: using {\bfa Some title} for section titles? More seriously, if there is a logic behind such a counter, then you can use: \defineconversion[fancy][1,2,5,6,8] % or a TeX or Lua command that generates the count \startitemize[fancy] .... > There must be a counter around and a way to advance it. If you insist, \setstructurecounter[\currentitemgroupcounter]{5} There is no interface to increment the counter by arbitrary amount, but you can define your own interface to structures.counters.add: \unprotected \def\addtostructurecounter [#1]#2{\ctxlua{structures.counters.add ("\@@thestructurecounter{#1}",1,#2)}} and then use \addtostructurecounter[\currentitemgroupcounter]{2} Aditya ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

For the record, I'm writing up answers to a long list of questions, some of which don't need a written answer (just asking the reader to observe something). A quick check has verified than \noitem does exactly what I want.
