It seems that you're reading my mind. I guess that it must be approximately the same reason as why I can't get Question Q1 Question Q2 With \defineenumeration [question] [text=Question Q] \startquestion Why are there so many spaces? \stopquestion I get Question Q 1 (but I can't find a way to get Q1 as is possible in sections - the space seems to be there by default). I thought that headcommand=\myquestioncommand (command spotted when I took a look at texshow, it's not in the manual) and \def\myquestioncommand#1{Question Q#1} would solve that, but I don't see any evidence of \myquestioncommand ever being called/executed. I would be very happy if this issue was solved as well. Perhas a left=,right= pair of keywords could solve the problem (left= and right= surrounding the number; but then we would also have to surround the label with something as well), where the default of left= would be a space. \[whatever]commad= could also solve the problem.

left=Q works. The label is <text><space><left><number><stopper><right>, so this works \defineenumeration [question] [text=Question, left=Q] \starttext \startquestion[abc] Why are there so many spaces in \in[abc]? \stopquestion \stoptext

If we're talking about \in-s, references, ... It would simplify my style file considerably if I was able to get the chapters labelled as C1, C1, ... instead of only 1, 2, ... I could get rid of left= which I do need when referencing to the questions.

I would also like such a feature. I frequently have \defineitemgroup[features] \setupitemgroup[features][each][left=(F,right=),stopper=] \setupitemgroup[features][each][n,2*broad] and the I usually do \definereferenceformat[infeature][left=(F,right=)] and use \infeature. It would be nice if one could have referenceleft and referenceright in most setup commands. Aditya
That means:
\defineenumeration [question] [text=Question, way=bychapter, sectionnumber=yes, separator={Q.}]
\chapter{About Something}
\section{First Section}
\placeformula \startformula f(x)=x^2 \stopformula
\startquestion Is it easy to do that? \stopquestion
\chapter{About Something Else}
should give
C1 About Something C1.1First section f(x)=x^2 (C1.1) question C1Q.1
C2 About Something Else

we can think of using labels; deep down the core: \setuplabeltext[\s!itemcount1={{I(},{)}}] \def\labeledcountervalue#1{\labeltexts{#1}{\countervalue{#1}}} etc etc; not that hard, but we need some rainy days and such (with instead if itemcount item:1 item:2 etc) this needs some work because itemize has its own numbering (historic reasons) so ... you can file a feature request and remind me every now and then Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I guess that this is because the text not empty.
\setuplabeltext[question=]
\defineenumeration [question] [text=\labeltext{question}]
This works, \defineenumeration [question] [text=] Or \defineeneumeration [question] [text=\labeltext{question}, left=\unskip] But both will behave incorrectly if you decide to set the label to something else in the future. Aditya
