The enumeration code is in strc-itm.mkvi, the file strc-des.mkvi (or strc-des.mkiv in older versions) is for the description code.

You have to recreate the format as well:

context --generate && context --make

You need “context --generate” only when you add new files. Wolfgang

@Wolfgang: You are mixing enumeration and item groups. The new enumeration code is in strc-enu.mkvi.

D’oh!

@Tobias: You can try playing around with titlecommand and numbercommand parameters.

Or simply use inmargin or leftmargin for the alternative key. Wolfgang

Hi all,

I am new to ConTeXt and asked myself if it is possible to have only the number of an enumeration in the margin and the title in `serried` position. Here is an example of what I think:

margin | text --------------------------- | blah blah | blah blah 1.1| Definition (something): blah | 1.2| Lemma: blah

After digging a while in the documentation and code, I came to the conclusion that this is currently not possible. Then I tried some fiddling in the context code and this directly leads to my second question: I modified the file strc-des.mkiv. However, the changes seem to be ignored by my context binary. What did I do wrong? I also tried context --generate, but that also did not i make context aware of my changes.

You can use the annotation module:

\usemodule[annotation]

\define[2]\EnumerationCommand {\inleft[scope=local,style=normal]{\placeannotationnumber}% \placeannotationtext\doifsomething{\placeannotationtitle}{\space(\placeannotationtitle)}:\space \placeannotationcontent}

\defineannotation[definition][text=Definition,alternative=command,command=\EnumerationCommand,prefixstopper=.] \defineannotation[lemma][definition][text=Lemma,counter=definition]

\starttext

\chapter{Test}

blah blah blah blah

\definition[title=something]{blah}

\lemma{blah}

\stoptext

Hi, The annotation module works perfect. This is exactly what I thought of. Thanks! Tobias
