Hi Hans,

Is the following correct? (1) [alternative=...] is a new key for \definecombination

Yes but you can also change the alternative with \startcombination.

(2) \definecombination[mycombiA][alternative=text] means you specify the combination's contents as item, caption, item, caption, etc.

\startcombination[mycombiA][nx=2,ny=1] {item}{caption} {another item}{another caption} \stopcombination

Yes, alternative=text is the old combination mechanism which takes two arguments for each entry for the content and the caption.

(3) \definecombination[mycombiB][alternative=label] means you specify the combination's contents as item, item, item, etc. \startcombination[mycombiB][nx=2,ny=1] {item} {another item} \stopcombination and the caption (label) will be placed automatically.

Yes.

(4) You can setup the mycombiB labels like so: \setuplabel[combination:mycombiB][ text={Item }, numberconversion=character, stopper=! ] (If you do not setup the mycombiB label, each item's label will be a bold number.)

When you don’t set individual settings for a combination label the global values from \setuplabel are used which are bold text and numbers. Wolfgang

Perhaps the default for the label could be numberconversion=character --- subfigures are more commonly numbered a, b, c, I think.

To set default values it can be usefull to add a unnamed “combination” label, i.e.

\definelabel[\v!combination]

and \definecombination is changed to

\appendtoks \edef\p_pack_combinations_alternative{\combinationparameter\c!alternative}% \setfalse\c_str_define_commands_label % no helper commands \ifx\currentcombinationparent\empty - \normalexpanded{\definelabel[\v!combination:\currentcombination]}[\c!text=]% + \normalexpanded{\definelabel[\v!combination:\currentcombination][\v!combination]}[\c!text=]% \else \normalexpanded{\definelabel[\v!combination:\currentcombination][\currentcombinationparent]}[\c!text=]% \fi \to \everydefinecombination

ok, but \normalexpanded {\definelabel [\v!combination:\currentcombination]% [\v!combination\ifx\currentcombinationparent\empty\else:\currentcombinationparent\fi]}% [\c!text=]% ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
