Hi all, some specification requests that a numbered list start at arbitrary counter values. I'm using the following line after “\startitemize[...]” to accomplish this: ··8<····························································· \setnumber[itemgroup:itemize]{42} ··8<····························································· Now I'd rather avoid this kind of brute interference with context internals so I'd like to ask whether there is a recommended high-level mechanism that I could use instead?

\starttext \startitemize[n] \dorecurse{4}{\item text} \stopitemize \startitemize[n,continue] \dorecurse{4}{\item text} \stopitemize \startitemize[n][start=30] \dorecurse{4}{\item text} \stopitemize \stoptext Wolfgang

Great, that's exactly what I was looking for. Now that we're at it: actually the spec wants this on per-item basis. This would amount to having another (apart from the reference) argument to “\item”, e.g. ···8<···························································· \startitemize[n] \item[n=1] foo \item[n=2] bar \item[n=3] foo \item[n=5] bar \item[n=8] foo \item[n=13] bar \stopitemize ···8<···························································· Regardless of if there's a practical use for that: is this possible as well without resorting to repeated \setnumber'ing?

Thanks again! I'll see what I can use this for. Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
