Get "right" numbers using blocks and enumerations

Get "right" numbers using blocks and enumerations

[Mikael P. Sundqvist]

Hi,

I'm trying to use blocks for answers in a text, but cannot get the
numbering to work as I want. I have read about \processblocks at the
wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/processblocks), but I'm
not sure that is my cure. I probably miss something easy...

The problem is probably easiest shown by an example:

%%%
\defineblock[A]
\hideblocks[A]

\defineenumeration[A][
text=A,
prefix=yes,
prefixsegments=chapter,
way=bychapter,
]

\starttext

\chapter{First chapter}

\beginA
\startA
My first answer in the first chapter.
\stopA
\endA

\beginA
\startA
My second answer in the first chapter.
\stopA
\endA


\chapter{Second chapter}

\beginA
\startA
My first answer in the second chapter.
\stopA
\endA

\beginA
\startA
My second answer in the second chapter.
\stopA
\endA

\chapter{Answers}
\useblocks[A]
\stoptext
%%%

I get, in the Answer chapter

A 3.1, A 3.2, A 3.3 and A 3.4.

What I want to have in the answer chapter is

A 1.1, A 1.2, A 2.1 and A 2.2.

(to follow the numbering in the chapters where the blocks were defined).

Is it possible? What have I missed?

Related: Is there a better way to set answers to questions? (Perhaps
not having to write both the \begin... \start... \stop... \end... for
every question?

Blocks only store their content without expanding counters etc. and when
you flush them you have the same result as putting them into the appendices
by hand.

\setupblock[A][before=\startA,after=\stopA]

but you can’t use the optional argument for a enumerations anymore (e.g. 
to set a title) with this method.

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang (also in the other thread, but I
don't reply there, since I have nothing more to add at the moment). I
then leave the idea of having the blocks processed "where they are
written".

For now, I solve this by adding labels on all exercises, and refer to
them in the answers. It works, but my fantasy for naming the labels
are soon reaching the limit... :)

Best regards, Mikael
