Hello everyone,
I was going through a tutorial to learn how to set up theorem-like environments in ConTeXt: http://www.ntg.nl/maps/36/09.pdf
and I noticed a few strange behaviours. I recognize that this tutorial was written for MkII ConTeXt, but after consulting the documentation in the latest ConTeXt manual and the wiki, I have determined that these features should still work. I'm looking at the "list" functionality of enumerations and descriptions. In MkII, you can do the following:
\defineenumeration[blah][ ... list=listname, listtext={Text goes here}]
and every time the enumeration is used, it'll be placed in the list you specify. The tutorial referenced above uses this to place a list of theorems with proper naming and numbering, as well as lemmas and other math things. In MkIV, I noticed that this functionality doesn't work, or at least not in the same way. I was not able to do:
\placelist[enumeration:listname]
for example. I was able to do \placelist[blah], however. After scouring this mailing list and consulting the source code, I haven't been able to find anything that would give me this functionality in MkIV. Was this intentional, or is there another way to get this functionality back?
The other strangeness I noticed was the "separator" option in defineenumeration. Normally one could do: \defineenumeration[blah2][ ... separator=--]
and things would work as they should, however this doesn't seem to work in MkIV. The last piece of functionality I noticed was not being able to set the number style in defineenumeration (which again works in MkII, tested this morning), like so:
\defineenumeration[blah3][ numberstyle=bold]
The wiki shows that these options should all be there, and they appear to be at least referenced in the source code, but I'm not familiar enough with the codebase to really give a good judgment of that. I noticed in one file "strc-des.mkiv" it says in a comment "lists and titles are experimental". Could anyone please help me out with these features?
