:-), that's great :-).
In the meantime, I solved the second part, i.e., adding the additional
describing text. It goes somehow like this (well, it's a hack, but it
works):
% MathParagraph is the enumeration (it ensures references and numbering,
% and typesetting all the texts). In command, it calls a macro that refers
% to \MathParagraphType etc.
\def\startLemma{\dosingleempty\dostartLemma}
\def\dostartLemma[#1]#2 {%
\def\MathParagraphType{Lemma}
\def\MathParagraphName{#2}
\def\MathParagraphList{MathParagraphs}
\iffirstargument
\startMathParagraph[#1]
\else
\startMathParagraph
\fi
}
\let\stopLemma\stopMathParagraph
So I can use
\startLemma[reference]{Algorithm xyz terminates}
...
\stopLemma
I came to the idea to misuse command= to typeset the header and write to
the list, it is given an argument containing the number of the enumeration.
Anyway, it is not easy to feed it into \expanded{\writetolist...} as the
argument is something with \edef and a pile of pretty ugly macros :-), so I
still use \precedingsectionnumber\numberMathParagraph :-(
To sum up, a good way to obtain current enumeration number (in a form that
goes into lists, etc.) would be completely enough, provided that one
writes hacks to solve the rest (and does end up finding the real macro
names with \tracingmacros=1 :-)). Creating something like
enumerateddescription (a description with names and possibility to write
lists) would be much nicer, of course :-))
Thank you very much,
D.A.
P.S.: Hans said once that a Dutch mathematical journal is typeset with
ConTeXt. Do you have an idea how they typeset theorems?
