Question and answers

[David Arnold]

All,

I have:

\defineenumeration[questions][location=serried,text=\blank]
\setupenumerations[questions][before={\unnumberedsubsection{Exercises} 
\startcolumns[n=2]},after=\stopcolumns,number=no]

\defineenumeration[answers][location=serried,text=\blank]
\setupenumerations[answers][before={\unnumberedsubsection{Answers} 
\startcolumns[n=2]},after=\stopcolumns,number=no]

\def\placeanswers{\startanswers\doifmodeelse{short}{\selectblocks 
[shortanswer][criterium=section]}{\selectblocks[longanswer] 
[criterium=section]}\stopanswers}

\defineenumeration[question][location=inleft,text={\color[heavygreen] 
\bgroup}]
\setupenumerations[question][stopper={.\egroup}]

\defineenumeration[subquestion][location=hanging,text={\color 
[heavygreen]\bgroup},conversion=characters]
\setupenumerations[subquestion][stopper={.\egroup}]

\defineenumeration[answer][location=inleft,text={\color[heavygreen] 
\bgroup}]
\setupenumerations[answer][stopper={.\egroup}]

\defineenumeration[subanswer][location=hanging,text={\color 
[heavygreen]\bgroup},conversion=characters]
\setupenumerations[subanswer][stopper={.\egroup}]

\defineblock[question,shortanswer,longanswer]
\hideblocks[shortanswer,longanswer]

I put a \placeanswers at the end of each section, but the numbering  
is contiguous across sections. For example, section 1 might end with  
exercise #15, then section 2 begins with exercise #16. How can I  
reset the numbers to start with #1 in section 2?

Add
    way=bysection,sectionnumber=no
to \defineenumeration or to \setupenumeration.

(You can also reset the numbers manually with \resetquestion.)
