Hi, I’m typesetting a textbook that contains numbered and indented exercises. They must not float.
Which structure should I use for them? There must be an easy answer, but I draw a blank.
Use an enumeration.
Thank you, but how can I define a title/caption for the enumeration and its reference?
Hi Hraban,

Here’s an example from my textbook which might be helpful. I use this enumeration for example problems, but exercises could be similar. You have access to the rest of the textbook, so feel free to grab anything useful.

In the environment file:

% Example Problems
\defineenumeration[example]
\setupenumeration[example][
	margin=no,
	headstyle=\ss\sc,
	text=Example, % This text is part of the number, e.g. "Example 2.3"
	style=\ss,
	alternative=serried,
	title=no, % This would be a title after the number
	prefix=yes, % Turns on the prefix
	prefixsegments=chapter, % makes the prefix the chapter number
	way=bychapter, % Numbers within each chapter
	%margin=standard, % Indents block on the left
	width=fit, % Makes the space between the number and the question a good size
	indentnext=no,
]
\definedelimitedtext[solution][
	spacebefore=medium,
	spaceafter=medium,
	style=\rm\it,
	leftmargin=standard, % Indents block on the left
	rightmargin=yes, % Indents block on the right
	indentnext = no,
]

In the text:

\startexample[ex:organ]
What interval is produced by two consecutive thirds?
\startsolution
We wish to add a third to a third.
\startformula
	\text{3rd} + \text{3rd} = 2\units{steps} + 2\units{steps} = 4\units{steps} = \text{5th}
\stopformula
Two thirds produce a fifth.
\stopsolution
