Hi, In ConTeXt MKIV, there are selectors (\defineselector, \select). In ConTeXt LMTX, they are gone. In LMTX, how can I achieve the following without using selectors: (Different heading and reference texts for descriptions) \defineselector[sel][max=2, n=2] \definedescription[desc][headcommand={\setupselector[sel][n=1]}] \starttext \startdesc[title={\select{sel}{Long title}{Short}}, reference=desc] \input jojomayer \stopdesc \about[desc] \stoptext Any help is welcome! Cheers, Christoph

Hm, I'll check it.

Any help is welcome!

Actually, what you want is: \definedescription [desc] \starttext \startdesc[title={Long title},reference=foo,referencetext={Short Title}] \input jojomayer \stopdesc \about[foo] \stoptext So I'll add that (after all, occasionally we need to add some functionality in order to indicate progress.)

Great! That would be a good solution for me. Thanks, Christoph

Thank you for the implementation, Hans! A small issue: When omitting the referencetext, then the shown text is now something like "248>desc:referencetext". MWE: \definedescription[desc] \starttext \startdesc[title=Long title, reference=foo]%, referencetext=Short title] \input jojomayer \stopdesc \about[foo] \stoptext For backward compatibility, it might be better to use the title as a default for the reference test. Cheers, Christoph
