Re: [NTG-context] syntax for numbercommand and \gobbleoneargument

Thanks for the useful explanations.

A newline is treated in general as a space, so you have unwanted space in case 1.

Right, but what confused me was that I expected the closing brace in numbercommand={\gobbleoneargument} to bound what numbercommand was set to.

If you really want a newline as in case 1, then consider case 4:

I'm happy to put the ] on the same line. I had ended up with case 1 by mistake after a bunch of experiments with exercise numbering, and then it took me a while to figure out the change that was causing the error. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
