Nested \setupXXX commands

26 Mar 2013

      Hi Hans,

there is a problem with the command handler and nested \setup… commands.

In the following example the setting for the “two” environment are ignored.

<example>
\defineenumeration[one][text=One]
\defineenumeration[two][text=Two]

\setupenumeration[one,two][alternative=serried,color=red]

\starttext

	\startone
	First enumeration.
	\stopone

	\starttwo
	Second enumeration.
	\stoptwo

\stoptext
</example>

The reason for this behavior is the \setupcounter call in \everysetupenumeration.

When you look at the internal code for \setupenumeration (mult-aux.mkiv) you see that the first
element in \setupernumeration (i.e. “one”) is processed with \mult_interfaces_with_comma_list_element,
at the end of this macro \everysetupenumeration. At this point \setupcounter is used which
redefines \mult_interfaces_with_comma_list_element. This redefined version is used for the next
element (i.e. “two”) in \setupenumeration and the values are no passed (“alternative” and “color”)
to \setupcounter.
