Is there some way to set up a reference tag so that I can refer to a particular item in a list, e.g., something vaguely like: You must do the following steps: \startitemize[n] \item Buy the ingredients \item Cook the food \item [??????] Put out the fire \stopitemize Note that Step \in[?????] is optional for experienced chefs. It looks like there are mechanisms to support this in the tex code, but I don't know how to use them.

\item [fire] Put out the fire
\stopitemize Note that Step \in[?????] is optional for experienced chefs.
Note that Step \in[fire] is optional for experienced chefs. \stoptext

Wow. How embarrassing - I am usually the one who chides my users about never actually trying simple experiments to see if something works.

Wolfgang has already answered your question. A suggestion: I usually prefer Note that \in Step[fire] is optional for experienced chefs. This way, if you enable interaction, "Step 3" will become a link, rather than just "3". Aditya

Note that \in Step[fire] is optional for experienced chefs.

An example showing a third alternative. This alternative is useful if you use that kind of reference a lot: \definereferenceformat[instep][text=Step] \starttext You must do the following steps: \startitemize[n] \item Buy the ingredients \item Cook the food \item [abc] Put out the fire \stopitemize Note that Step \in[abc] is optional for experienced chefs. Note that \in Step[abc] is optional for experienced chefs. Note that \instep[abc] is optional for experienced chefs. \stoptext
