Dear gang, Related to the last thread ("Numbered, counted snippets in running text"). Let us consider the same macro: ======= \newcount \MQT \MQT=1 \define[1]\NUM{% \framed[offset=overlay,frame=off,background=color,backgroundcolor=green] {\starttabulate[|c|] \NC \mbox{\the\MQT} \NR \NC #1 \NR \stoptabulate}% \advance\MQT by 1 \hbox{}} \startTEXpage \dorecurse{5}{Unnumbered Text \NUM{Numbered Text} } \stopTEXpage ======= How can one make a conversion of the numerals output by the \newcount? That is, how so we replace the default U+0030-U+0039 digits (0 1 2 3..) with some defined conversion (e.g., \romannumerals)? Is there a ConTeXt way to setup new counts so that they can automatically use the conversion mechanism? See attached. Thanks in advance for your wisdom!
