Hi Wolfgang In the meantime I found another way of getting the desired result. I am now using enumerations out of the box, without needing extra counters. After a bit of experimenting, this is what I did % test code \defineenumeration[artikel][location=left,text=Artikel,headstyle=bold,stopper=.,distance=5pt,width=broad,number=yes] \setupenumerations[subartikel][text=,location=left,stopper=.,width=broad,distance=5pt] \starttext \startartikel First artikel \stopartikel \startsubartikel Text for item 1.1. \stopsubartikel \startsubartikel Text for item 1.2 \stopsubartikel \startartikel Second artikel \stopartikel \startsubartikel Text for item 2.1 \stopsubartikel \startsubartikel Text for item 2.2 \stopsubartikel \stoptext Anyways, thanks for your help Kind regards Wim Neimeijer

Hi,

I want to make a numbered list as follows

*Artikel 1. First artikel

*1.1. Text for item 1.1. 1.2. Text for item 1.2

*Artikel 2. Second artikel*

2.1. Text for item 2.1 2.2. Text for item 2.2

etc.

I am trying to accomplish this with \setupitemgroup and \defineitemgroup as follows, but the second level start also with Artikel and is indented. I looked at the some of the emails relating to numbered subitems but could not find a working example.

Thanks for any help Wim

% test code

\def\firstlevelnumber#1{\xdef\thefirstlevelnumber{#1}#1} \defineconversion[firstlevelnumber][\firstlevelnumber]

\def\secondlevelnumber#1{\thefirstlevelnumber.#1} \defineconversion[secondlevelnumber][\secondlevelnumber]

\defineitemgroup[mylist][levels=2] \setupitemgroup[mylist][1][atmargin][n,repeat]

\setupitemgroup[mylist][1][atmargin][n,firstlevelnumber]

\setupitemgroup[mylist][1][width=5em,stopper=.,headstyle=bold,left=Artikel ] \setupitemgroup[mylist][2][atmargin][n,repeat]

\setupitemgroup[mylist][2][atmargin][n,secondlevelnumber]

\setupitemgroup[mylist][2][width=2em,stopper=.,left=]

\startext \startmylist \head First artikel

\startmylist \item Text for item 1.1. \item Text for item 1.1. \stopmylist

\head Second artikel

\startmylist \item Text for item 2.1 \item Text for item 2.2 \stopmylist

\stopmylist \stoptext

Wolfgang
