Numbered Itemlist With Interruption
I am trying to have two numbered itemizations, with a paragraph in between, such that the second list starts where the first left off, without having to manually calculate the new start point. The following does not work, and I do not understand why. Mike \starttext \definecounter[mynumber][] \startitemize[n] \item The first item. \item The second item \item Item number \currentitemnumber{}, the last one. \setcounter[mynumber][\currentitemnumber] \stopitemize The \type{\getnumber[mynumber]} value is \getnumber[mynumber]. \incrementcounter[mynumber] And now the big finish, start at \getnumber[mynumber]: \startitemize[n][start=\getnumber[mynumber]] % WHY DOES THIS FAIL? \item Picking up where we left off. \item And all is well. \stopitemize Done! \stoptext
\startitemize[continue]% THIS SHOULD DO WHAT YOU WANT \item Picking up where we left off. \item And all is well. \stopitemize Julian On 26/4/23 13:21, Michael Urban via ntg-context wrote:

The \type{\getnumber[mynumber]} value is \getnumber[mynumber]. \incrementcounter[mynumber]
And now the big finish, start at \getnumber[mynumber]: \startitemize[n][start=\getnumber[mynumber]] % WHY DOES THIS FAIL? \item Picking up where we left off.
\item And all is well. \stopitemize Done! \stoptext ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki!

Don't worry... I've read contextgarden on lots of things and missed more than you've ever thought of I reckon! The answer to problems is usually in there somewhere, but finding it can be a bit of challenge sometimes. Julian On 26/4/23 13:58, Michael Urban via ntg-context wrote:

Wow, thanks. I must have read that 'Enumerations' contextgarden wiki page a half dozen times and missed it anyway.
