Should command `\setnumber' print number in text?
Hello, I faced with following behavior of `\setnumber' command, consider the example: <example file="ex1.tex"> \setupbodyfont[computer-modern-unicode,12pt] \definenumber[course] \setnumber[course]{3} \starttext Hello. \stoptext </example> Processing by context (ConTeXt ver: 2012.04.26 22:27 MKIV fmt: 2012.4.28 int: english/english) I get PDF with number 3 typeset on line above Hello. Is it expected behavior? If yes, how can I increase/set value for "number"-command (counter) then? P.S. I tried with commented `\setupbodyfont', all is ok. Is it mean that command is deprecated? --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov -- You worry too much about your job. Stop it. You are not paid enough to worry.

There was a change in the \setupnumber command for MkIV and you need now brackets for both arguments, e.g. \setupnumber[course][3]. Wolfgang

Wolfgang Thank you Wolfgang, `\setupnumber' works.
Just to clarify question (before update wiki): is `\setnumber' command obsolete and `\setupnumber' should be used instead? I'm also reading "dev-context", some time ago there were discussion about `\definestructure...', in message `<4F737D98.5040600@wxs.nl>' Hans shown several `\let' commands, from that I thought that `\setnumber' is ok to use with `[]{}'. --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov -- What does it take for Americans to do great things; to go to the moon, to win wars, to dig canals linking oceans, to build railroads across a continent? In independent thought about this question, Neil Armstrong and I concluded that it takes a coincidence of four conditions, or in Neil's view, the simultaneous peaking of four of the many cycles of American life. First, a base of technology must exist from which to do the thing to be done. Second, a period of national uneasiness about America's place in the scheme of human activities must exist. Third, some catalytic event must occur that focuses the national attention upon the direction to proceed. Finally, an articulate and wise leader must sense these first three conditions and put forth with words and action the great thing to be accomplished. The motivation of young Americans to do what needs to be done flows from such a coincidence of conditions. ... The Thomas Jeffersons, The Teddy Roosevelts, The John Kennedys appear. We must begin to create the tools of leadership which they, and their young frontiersmen, will require to lead us onward and upward. -- Dr. Harrison H. Schmidt

Both commands have a different purpose, with \setupnumber you can change the conversion of the counter (romannumerals, characters etc.), add a prefix (chapter, section … number) and let the counter be reset with each new sectionblock or heading. With \setnumber you can set the counter to a certain value but to fit the command in the normal syntax there was a change a while back. In MkII you set the number in braces \setnumber[…]{<number>} but for MkIV you use brackets to set the number \setnumber[…][<number>]

In MkIV the real names for the counter mechanism are - \definecounter - \setupcounter - \incrementcounter - \convertedcounter - … but for backward compatibility (the names are mentioned in manuals) the old names from MkII are synonyms with the same syntax. Wolfgang
