Hi, I’m typesetting a textbook that contains numbered and indented exercises. They must not float. Which structure should I use for them? There must be an easy answer, but I draw a blank. At the moment I’m using heads, derived from 'section', but the exercises should have independent numbers, and I’m unsure how I should setup the indentation. With 'narrower' the numbered titles would be difficult. \setuplabeltext[en][Exercise=Exercise~] \definehead[Exercise][section] \setuphead[Exercise][ bodypartlabel=Exercise, number=yes, ownnumber=yes, % ?? way=bytext, % ?? ] \starttext \startExercise[title={Something to do},reference=ex:something] This can have several paragraphs and maybe images etc. \stopExercise \stoptext Hraban

Use an enumeration. Wolfgang

Thank you, but how can I define a title/caption for the enumeration and its reference? Hraban

\defineenumeration [Exercise] [text=Exercise, title=yes, titleleft=, titleright=, way=bytext, margin=1em] \starttext \samplefile{lorem} \startExercise [title={Something to do},reference=ex:something] \samplefile{lorem} \stopExercise \stoptext Wolfgang

Thank you, I didn’t even try, since the wiki looked like it wasn’t possible. Sorry! I’ll wikify that. Hraban
Here’s what I have now (result attached): \define[1]\ÜbungNrCmd{\inmargin{\offset[y=3em]{\rotate[rotation=90]{\SectionFont #1}}}} \defineenumeration[Übung][ text=Übung, title=yes, titleleft=, titleright=, titledistance=-1em, titlestyle=\SectionFont, %numberstyle=\SectionFont, numbercommand=\ÜbungNrCmd, way=bytext, margin=1em, before={\blank[2*line]}, ] Now I’d like to have a vertical line beside the text, starting below the title. And because I want to use the “sketchy“ lines we discussed a while ago (I needed them for the same book), it must be a MetaPost-drawn line. What’s the right approach? Overlay? Textbackground? Hraban

Hi Hraban, Here’s an example from my textbook which might be helpful. I use this enumeration for example problems, but exercises could be similar. You have access to the rest of the textbook, so feel free to grab anything useful. -Gavin In the environment file: % Example Problems \defineenumeration[example] \setupenumeration[example][ margin=no, headstyle=\ss\sc, text=Example, % This text is part of the number, e.g. "Example 2.3" style=\ss, alternative=serried, title=no, % This would be a title after the number prefix=yes, % Turns on the prefix prefixsegments=chapter, % makes the prefix the chapter number way=bychapter, % Numbers within each chapter %margin=standard, % Indents block on the left width=fit, % Makes the space between the number and the question a good size indentnext=no, ] \definedelimitedtext[solution][ spacebefore=medium, spaceafter=medium, style=\rm\it, leftmargin=standard, % Indents block on the left rightmargin=yes, % Indents block on the right indentnext = no, ] In the text: \startexample[ex:organ] What interval is produced by two consecutive thirds? \startsolution We wish to add a third to a third. \startformula \text{3rd} + \text{3rd} = 2\units{steps} + 2\units{steps} = 4\units{steps} = \text{5th} \stopformula Two thirds produce a fifth. \stopsolution \stopexample

Thank you, that also answers my last question. Hraban
