Hi Alasdair,

Is this what you want?
\starttext

\startitemize[n]
\dorecurse{4}{\item text}
\stopitemize
\input knuth.tex

\startitemize[n,continue]
\dorecurse{4}{\item text}
\stopitemize

\startitemize[n][start=17]
\dorecurse{4}{\item text}
\stopitemize

\stoptext

I have this from an answer by Wolfgang S.

Best regards: OK

Hello,

The effect I want is something like:

1. First item
2. Second item
5. Fifth item
6. Sixth item
8. Eight item

and so on.  Every now and then I need to skip a number or two.  In LaTeX I could do this with \addtocounter{enumi}{2} - but how is this done in ConTeXt?

Thanks very much,
Alasdair
