Hi, all.
I try to place a row number into the first column of my table.
I tried:
\definecounter[rownum][way=bytext,prefix=no]
\setcounter[rownum][0]
\starttext
\startxtable
     \startxrow
         \startxcell
             \incrementcounter[rownum]
             \rawcounter[rownum]
         \stopxcell
     \stopxrow
     \startxrow
         \startxcell
             \incrementcounter[rownum]
             \rawcounter[rownum]
         \stopxcell
     \stopxrow
     \startxrow
         \startxcell
             \incrementcounter[rownum]
             \rawcounter[rownum]
         \stopxcell
     \stopxrow
\stopxtable
And got:
7
8
9
If i place \setcounter[rownum][0] right after \startxtable, then i got:
1
2
3
Is this normal?
Yes, to fix it use
\startxcell
   \doifelsemode{*trialtypesetting}
     {0}
     {\incrementcounter[rownum]%
      \convertedcounter[rownum]}
\stopxcell
It seems that reseting once at table start is simpler, isn't it :-)?

What is the difference between \rawcounter and \convertedcounter?
\rawcounter give me the plain number as i want.

What's about \newcount&\advance variant? Why it not work?
