Thanks very much Wolfgang, that seems to work well enough for me.

Interestingly though, the formatting is slightly different between defining the blocks and using (recalling) the blocks.  When I recall the blocks, the text appears a line below the enumeration labels (see example + attachment below).


I had always assumed that \define just did a text replacement (like in c).... looks like I was wrong. 

How does \define actually work?  Could you point me towards some documentation.... I'm struggling to find anything about \define.

thanks
Glen

I can reproduce this but for mkiv (context <file>) the output in both cases is the same.

Hi Wolfgang,

With MkIV blocks are hidden by default while MkII prints them, add \keepblocks[Block]
to your document and the blocks will appear.

Using \keepblocks worked thanks.

Unfortunately, now the \reset command doesn't seem to work in mkiv (see attachment), but's ok in mkii.

Weird... when I try it here on mkiv, there is no output where I define the blocks (see attachment).

I'm trying this on the "current" mimimals (downloaded today) on mac os x (10.6.5).
[LuaTeX beta-0.64.0-2010111215, ConTeXt  ver: 2010.07.30 11:35 MKIV  fmt: 2010.11.19]

Could this be some sort of bug?  Is there anything you'd like me to try.

thanks
Glen

With MkIV blocks are hidden by default while MkII prints them, add \keepblocks[Block]
to your document and the blocks will appear. You can also use the same name for the
blocks as you do use the enumerations, to allow this blocks use begin/end commands
and not the usual start/stop commands.

or we can change the defaults to show them

Defining a command for enumeration+block

[Glen Callaghan]

Hello,

I'm having some problems using blocks and enumeration together.

I can get it to work using something like this (see complete minimal example further down):

	\beginBlock 
	\startEnum 
	Some text A
	\stopEnum 
	\endBlock 

But it doesn't seem to work if I try to define a command (macro?) to keep my source file a bit tidier.

	\define[1]\Revs{
		\beginBlock 
		\startEnum 
				#1
		\stopEnum
		\endBlock
	}

	\Revs{Missing Text B}

I don't get any output from the call \Revs.  No doubt I'm doing something silly...... 

I've also noticed that it breaks if I put the \beginBlock \startEnum commands on the same line, as in:

	\beginBlock \startEnum 
	Some text A
	\stopEnum \endBlock 


I've been trying this on TeX Live 2010.


thanks
Glen

}

\reset[Enum]

\beginBlock

You can’t use blocks within other commands but when you use only enumerations in your block you can simplify your code a little bit.

\defineblock[Block]
\defineenumeration[Enum][location=left,text=Test] 

\setupblock[Block][before=\startEnum,after=\stopEnum]

\starttext

\beginBlock
Some text A
\endBlock

\stoptext
