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.

or we can change the defaults to show them

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.

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

Wolfgang

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).

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

thanks

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

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

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
