Hello everyone,

I was going through a tutorial to learn how to set up theorem-like
environments in ConTeXt:
http://www.ntg.nl/maps/36/09.pdf

and I noticed a few strange behaviours.  I recognize that this tutorial was
written for MkII ConTeXt,
but after consulting the documentation in the latest ConTeXt manual and the
wiki, I have determined
that these features should still work.  I'm looking at the "list"
functionality of enumerations and descriptions.
In MkII, you can do the following:

\defineenumeration[blah][
...
list=listname,
listtext={Text goes here}]

and every time the enumeration is used, it'll be placed in the list you
specify.
The tutorial referenced above uses this to place a list of theorems with
proper naming and numbering,
as well as lemmas and other math things.  In MkIV, I noticed that this
functionality doesn't work, or at least not in the same way.  I was not
able to do:

\placelist[enumeration:listname]

for example.  I was able to do \placelist[blah], however.  After scouring
this mailing list and consulting the source code, I haven't been able to
find anything that would give me this functionality in MkIV.  Was this
intentional, or is there another way to get this functionality back?

The other strangeness I noticed was the "separator" option in
defineenumeration.
Normally one could do:
\defineenumeration[blah2][
...
separator=--]

and things would work as they should, however this doesn't seem to work in
MkIV.  The last piece of functionality I noticed was not being able to set
the number style in defineenumeration (which again works in MkII, tested
this morning), like so:

\defineenumeration[blah3][
numberstyle=bold]

The wiki shows that these options should all be there, and they appear to
be at least referenced in the source code, but I'm not familiar enough with
the codebase to really give a good judgment of that.  I noticed in one file
"strc-des.mkiv" it says in a comment "lists and titles are experimental".
Could anyone please help me out with these features?

Thanks,
Shane Peelar
