Hi folks,
I've recently started to consider ConTeXt as an alternative to my
long-time friend LaTeX. I like ConTeXt very much but noticed a few
things that are either less than ideal or maybe I simply haven't
figured out yet how to do them right. Here are the first two:
1) Enumerations
I've read in a few places that this is what is to be used whenever I
would use theorem-style environments in latex. There are two things
I seem to be unable to do: Creating Theorems that look like this.
---------------------
THEOREM 1 It would be nice if Context could produce a theorem where
the title is not separated from the text and the next line has no
hanging indent.
---------------------
I was able to produce only
----------------------
THEOREM 1
It would be nice ...
----------------------
or
----------------------
THEOREM 1 It would
be nice ...
----------------------
using location=top or location=hanging. What I want is no hanging
indent at all. (I also tried location=serried, which produced an
overly large gap between THEOREM 1 and the theorem text. The second
thing I am used to in latex is the option to place things in
parentheses by providing an optional argument to the environment.
E.g., in assignments I typeset, I often have either
\begin{question}
...
\end{question}
which simply produces
--------------------
Question 1 ...
--------------------
or
\begin{question}[20 marks]
...
\end{question}
which produces
--------------------
Question 1 (20 marks) ...
--------------------
This second option is easy to simulate if I can produce something
that has no hanging indents. As it is, I can't.
2) Numbered labels
I tried to use numbered labels plus a little bit of tex-code to
simulate the above environment. The gist is that I used
\definelabel[question][location=intext,text=Question]
to define the label and, wherever I needed a new question, \question
[ref].
The result of writing \question[ref], however, was "Question Question
1". The label always seemed to be duplicated for some reason. Is
this a known bug?
Thanks for your help with this.
Cheers,
Norbert
