Referencing Itemized Items?

Referencing Itemized Items?

[Michael.Urban]

Is there some way to set up a reference tag so that I can refer to a
particular item in a list, e.g., something vaguely like:

 You must do the following steps:
 \startitemize[n]
   \item Buy the ingredients
   \item Cook the food
   \item [??????] Put out the fire
 \stopitemize
 Note that Step \in[?????] is optional for experienced chefs.
   
It looks like there are mechanisms to support this in the tex code,
but I don't know how to use them.

Note that Step \in[fire] is optional for experienced chefs.

Wow.  How embarrassing - I am usually the one who chides my users about
never actually trying simple experiments to see if something works.

Wolfgang has already answered your question. A suggestion: I usually 
prefer

Note that \in Step[fire] is optional for experienced chefs.

This way, if you enable interaction, "Step 3" will become a link, rather 
than just "3".

An example showing a third alternative.  This alternative is useful 
if you use that kind of reference a lot:


\definereferenceformat[instep][text=Step]

\starttext
You must do the following steps:
\startitemize[n]
  \item Buy the ingredients
  \item Cook the food
  \item [abc] Put out the fire
\stopitemize

Note that Step \in[abc] is optional for experienced chefs.

Note that \in Step[abc] is optional for experienced chefs.

Note that \instep[abc] is optional for experienced chefs.
\stoptext
