Hi Wolfgang, Thank you for your suggestion. I tested the code and the result is not what I expected from the second item : "2 exemple" instead of "2^{e} exemple", "3 exemple" instead of "3^{e} exemple" ...

core-con.lua (line 1155): local ordinals = { [...] french = function(n) if n == 1 then return "er" + else + return "e" end end, }

...

Then I tried to use the key alternative = serried but without success.

This works for me: \defineenumeration [test] [text=, alternative=serried, width=fit, distance=.5em, numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{~exemple}, numberconversion=ordinal] \mainlanguage [fr] \starttext \starttest \input knuth \stoptest \starttest \input knuth \stoptest \stoptext Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang, Thanks for the example and the fix, but I would rather think that the « french » part of ordinals should be french = function(n) if n == 1 then return « er" else return « ème" end end, Now if this were not accepted as a fix in core-con.lua, is there a way for a user to change the default to the above choice in his document ?

Except if you have something like “1ère image”… Ah, languages are so messy (no pun with recent events in Paris intended). Thomas

Sure… But then maybe it is possible to define one’s own « ordinals.french » for messy cases :-)

The exponents are placed with \high and you can change the style with \setuphigh[style=...] but this affects all texts which use \high. Wolfgang

The purpose of abbreviations is, well, to abbreviate. Even though ‘ème’ is seen a lot, it’s wrong because it’s too long. Source (pretty official): https://www.academie-francaise.fr/abreviations-des-adjectifs-numeraux So for numbers starting from 3 the proper abbreviation is ‘e’. For 1 and 2 it’s more complicated, however, as it depends on the gender. For 1: * masculine: 1er * feminine: 1re In addition for 2, and when the enumeration contains only 2 elements, there is the option to use the older word ‘second(e)’: * masculine: 2d * feminine: 2de For 3 elements and above, we always use the newer word ‘deuxième’, which is abbreviated in the form of the generic ‘e’. While that rule is optional, people who use tools like ConTeXt are likely to pay attention to that kind of details and will probably want to use it. Finally, we have to add an ‘s’ to all the abbreviations if the plural is needed (the 1st (1ers) elements, the 2nd (2ds or 2es) elements, etc., vs the 1st (1er) element, 2nd (2d or 2e) element…). Now, can all those subtleties be coded in a function? :) Vincent
