Hans et all, We don't understand, why we have to uncomment the commented line in the code below to make section numbers go away? Why doesn't the enumeration inherit? \usemodule[colors] \setupcolors[state=start] \definecolor[lavender][r=0.25,b=0.75,t=0.095,a=1] \defineframedtext[MyBox] \definemeasure[BoxWidth][\textwidth] \defineblank[BoxBlank][1em plus 1em minus 1em] \setupframedtexts [MyBox] [width=\measure{BoxWidth}, before={\blank[BoxBlank]}, after={\blank[BoxBlank]}, background=color, frame=no, location=middle] \definenumber[CommonCtr][way=bysection,sectionnumber=no] \definenumber[FigCtr][way=bysection,sectionnumber=no] \setupframedtexts [MyBox] [width=\measure{BoxWidth}, before={\blank[BoxBlank]}, after={\blank[BoxBlank]}, background=color, frame=no, location=middle] \setuplabeltext[remark=Remark] \setuplabeltext[theorem=Theorem] \defineenumeration [remark,theorem] [location=serried, width=broad, headstyle=bold, inbetween=\blank, before=\blank, after=\blank, way=bysection, sectionnumber=no, number=yes] \defineenumeration [remark] [text=\labeltext{remark}] \defineenumeration [theorem] [text=\labeltext{theorem}, % sectionnumber=no, before={\startMyBox[backgroundcolor=lavender]}, after=\stopMyBox] \setupnumber[remark][number=CommonCtr] \setupnumber[theorem][number=CommonCtr] \setupnumber[formula][number=CommonCtr] \setupnumber[figure][number=FigCtr] \starttext \chapter[chap:one]{Chapter One} \input knuth \section[sec:one]{Section One} \startremark This is a remark \stopremark \startremark This is a remark \stopremark \starttheorem This is a theorem. \stoptheorem \placeformula[eq:one] \startformula f(x)=x^2 \stopformula \startremark This is a remark \stopremark \starttheorem This is a theorem. \stoptheorem \stoptext
