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?
\starttext
\startitemize \sym{1.} First item \sym{2.} Second item \sym{5.} Fifth item \sym{6.} Sixth item \sym{8.} Eight item \stopitemize
\stoptext
You can't be serious ;-). Do you really think one should enter all numbers manually only because someone wants to skip e.g. the number "13"? There must be a counter around and a way to advance it.
From the code I think this should be used:
\starttext \startitemize[n] \item here we list the points, \item one after the other. \doadvanceitem \item blub \stopitemize \stoptext -- Ulrike Fischer
