Alternative for selector in LMTX for different heading and reference texts for descriptions

Alternative for selector in LMTX for different heading and reference texts for descriptions

[Christoph Reller]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 496 bytes --]

Hi,

In ConTeXt MKIV, there are selectors (\defineselector, \select). In ConTeXt
LMTX, they are gone.

In LMTX, how can I achieve the following without using selectors:
(Different heading and reference texts for descriptions)

\defineselector[sel][max=2, n=2]
\definedescription[desc][headcommand={\setupselector[sel][n=1]}]
\starttext
\startdesc[title={\select{sel}{Long title}{Short}}, reference=desc]
  \input jojomayer
\stopdesc
\about[desc]
\stoptext

Any help is welcome!
Cheers,
Christoph

Hm, I'll check it.

Actually, what you want is:

\definedescription
   [desc]

\starttext

     \startdesc[title={Long title},reference=foo,referencetext={Short 
Title}]
         \input jojomayer
     \stopdesc

     \about[foo]

\stoptext

So I'll add that (after all, occasionally we need to add some 
functionality in order to indicate progress.)

Great! That would be a good solution for me.
Thanks,
Christoph

Thank you for the implementation, Hans!

 A small issue: When omitting the referencetext, then the shown text is now
something like "248>desc:referencetext".

MWE:
\definedescription[desc]
\starttext
\startdesc[title=Long title, reference=foo]%, referencetext=Short title]
  \input jojomayer
\stopdesc
\about[foo]
\stoptext

For backward compatibility, it might be better to use the title as a
default for the reference test.

Cheers,
Christoph
