Thank you Marco. Another very useful tool for me. I realize now that many
things with labels can be used as anchors for references, and I'm still a
bit surprised that a delimited text with a label cannot be used that way.
Where has the delimited text in your example a label?
Wolfgang
I had not included a minimal example but I had run some trials. Since they
did not work, and you gave me a good solution, I trashed them. I kept the
pdf's though, in which I included the source. So I can reconstruct the
examples.
I'll try to make it again tomorrow morning. I would be interested to learn
what sort of errors I committed.
Kind regards,

Here follows my minimal example. I reasoned that the identifier [topica] might
act as a label, or an anchor, or whatever the correct ConTeXt name is, for a
reference.

In this case, I'd say it's because you're defining a delimited text
style which can be used in multiple places. Your document could have
five hundred \starttopica...\stoptopica blocks on different pages.
A figure identifier, on the other hand, is meant to be unique.

Anyhow, if you play with such things, best have something lua mp.print(123) Given mp's somewhat different parsing and expansion compared to tex there are also some conceptual issues involved.

[NTG-context] A series of articles about text-editors for the MAPS
Dear TeX users and TeX friends, At one of the last NTG-meetings we discussed possibilities to write a series of articles presenting the different text editors used in modern TeX-environments. Such an article could have ingredients like availability, general use, highlights, issues related to TeX coding and whether it is suitable for Plain-tex, Latex, Context, configurability etc. The idea is to produce a MAPS-issue in color, so that also screenshots can be included. We have already a couple of volunteers to write on certain editors, however it is for sure not a bad idea to include even two articles on the same editor. What we definitely are looking for is someone who would be prepared to write an article over WinEdt.

Hi Pont,
Thanks for your comment. I realized this. There would of course be only one
\starttopica...\stoptopica block in my text. If I would like to use delimited
texts in this manner for several different topics, I would simply give them
different names. Each topic its own name, like [topicb], [topicc], etc. Like
you would do if you wanted to use slightly different types of blockquote in
your document.
So my question: Why can some identifiers, for example of figures, be used for
internal references and others not? remains unanswered.

Re: [NTG-context] Marking a textfragment for later reference
Hi Robert,
So my question: Why can some identifiers,
for example of figures, be used for internal
references and others not? remains unanswered.
That would be because there are
* names, for creating a named variant of some command
* and labels, which are used for cross-references,
and I think you are calling them both identifiers. (Not sure I'm using
the official terms, or if there are any.)
Some examples below, I hope they'll clarify things. I never had any
problems confusing labels and names myself, so I'm not sure how to
explain what was obvious to me, but perhaps this will help:
Names occur when you're defining things; Labels occur when you're
placing things.
As for why you can't do
\definedelimitedtext[AA]
\startAA[mylabel]
bla
\stopAA
I guess that was never baked in. Probably because quotations are not
really numbered objects, and so not obvious candidates for having
their own labels.
Cheers,
Sietse
%%% Example: label %
\placefigure
[here]
[fig:myfig] % label: used to refer to the figure

Thanks very much. Playing with your code I discovered that if I use:
\defineconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals]
-
in your example then the following statement is not needed
-
\setuppagenumbering[numberconversion=romannumerals]
but not vice versa. So the last statement quoted is defective in some
way or so it seems to me. In any case I now have code that works. Is
the command \defineconversionset documented anywhere or do I have to dig
into the macro code?

Of course, the 'command' is not that nice looking but that's for others
to improve.
(In a similar fashion one can associate a resource or whatever to a
section head and use it in a toc.)

Another very useful tool for me.

Where has the delimited text in your example a label? Wolfgang I had not included a minimal example but I had run some trials. Since they did not work, and you gave me a good solution, I trashed them. I kept the pdf's though, in which I included the source. So I can reconstruct the examples. I'll try to make it again tomorrow morning. I would be interested to learn what sort of errors I committed. Kind regards, Robert Blackstone Here follows my minimal example. I reasoned that the identifier [topica] might act as a label, or an anchor, or whatever the correct ConTeXt name is, for a reference. --- \definedelimitedtext[topica] \setupdelimitedtext[topica][left=,right=] %maybe superfluous? I do not need a layout different from the rest of the text. Here you’re telling context to create the new delimitedtext environment \starttopica … \stoptopica. The first argument for both commands (\define and \setup) is the new of the environment which you want to create or change.

Thanks very much. Playing with your code I discovered that if I use:
\defineconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals]
-
in your example then the following statement is not needed
-
\setuppagenumbering[numberconversion=romannumerals]
but not vice versa. So the last statement quoted is defective in some
way or so it seems to me. In any case I now have code that works.
See my other mail for the correct usage of numberconversion.
Is the command \defineconversionset documented anywhere or do I have to dig
into the macro code?
You can find a explanation of the command in the mail archive but you have
to look for old name \definestructureconverionset.

Re: [NTG-context] A series of articles about text-editors for the MAPS
On Tue, 7 Aug 2012 11:34:28 +0200 Willi Egger cont...@boede.nl wrote: Dear TeX users and TeX friends, At one of the last NTG-meetings we discussed possibilities to write a series of articles presenting the different text editors used in modern TeX-environments. Such an article could have ingredients like availability, general use, highlights, issues related to TeX coding and whether it is suitable for Plain-tex, Latex, Context, configurability etc. The idea is to produce a MAPS-issue in color, so that also screenshots can be included. We have already a couple of volunteers to write on certain editors, however it is for sure not a bad idea to include even two articles on the same editor. What we definitely are looking for is someone who would be prepared to write an article over WinEdt. I am looking forward hearing from you, kind regards Willi Egger Secretary NTG ntg-secret...@ntg.nl I use Gvim for all editing, including all forms of TeX, columns submitted to my newspaper editors, programs (Tcl etc.) and emails. The virtue is I do not have to learn and relearn a new editor for each. And my custmizations such as F2 to justify each paragraph ragged right, are common for all. I even assign F keys for running pdftex or context on a file named book.tex (every book I work on is in a separate directory so all of them are called book.tex.)

The name of the output file is always the name of the main input file and you can only change this with the result option for context/texexec scripts. The \product command is a special version of \input and the given file is only read when the command appears in a project file and since it is no longer recommended to use a project as main file the command has no real purpose except a internal reference (in a component) to the parent file.
