Re: [NTG-context] Using \doifelse to change the itemization symbol in specific cases

[Kevin Kenan]

Ah…thanks for the pointer to \definecoversion. Looks promising.

I had also tried:

\defineitemgroup[Steps]
\setupitemgroup[Steps][each][n,packed]

\starttext
\startSteps
\item A
\sym{k} B\incrementnumber[itemgroup:Steps]
\item C 
\stopSteps
\stoptext

Which is similar to your \txt solution and increments the counter.

Thanks again for the help.

[NTG-context] Using \doifelse to change the itemization symbol in specific cases

[Kevin Kenan]

I’m trying to create a conditional that changes the symbol used for certain 
item numbers. Here’s my code that doesn’t work.

\define[1]\StepsCommand{\doifelse{#1}{2}{k}{#1}\ignorespaces}
\defineitemgroup[Steps]
\setupitemgroup[Steps][each][n,packed]
\setupitemgroup[Steps][each][left=\StepsCommand]

\starttext
\startSteps
\item A
\item B % the item number should be replaced with 'k'
\item C 
\stopSteps
\stoptext

The second item “B” should have the letter ‘k’ instead of the number “2.” Is 
this possible?

Thanks,

Re: [NTG-context] Use a counter in a reference?

The label mechanism worked great.

Thanks!

[NTG-context] Use a counter in a reference?

[Kevin Kenan]

I have a need to tag elements in a text in a way that they are sequentially 
numbered and can have references to refer to them. Something like:


Here is some \tag[tagref]{\bf text} that is tagged.
.
.
.
Refer to tag \tagnumber[tagref] on page \at[tagref].


What is the best way to do this in ConTeXt? I’ve got a counter for tag number, 
but I’m not sure how to use \reference so that it uses my tag number. For 
instance:


\definecounter[myTagCounter]
.
.
.
\reference[tagref]{\rawcountervalue[myTagCounter]}


Doesn’t work. But perhaps I’m going about this incorrectly? 

Thanks in advance!

I did…after a fashion. Once I knew the answer, I was able to find a reference 
to it on the wiki. However, it was obscured because both \setupdescription and 
\setupdescriptions are listed and I was reading the entry for 
\setupdescriptions which doesn’t list stretch and shrink as parameters. I added 
a note to \setupdescriptions that references \setupdescription. Hopefully that 
will help.

I had tried searching the archive using a few variations of "heading paragraph 
description” but was unsuccessful in finding the previous answer.

I’m still new to ConTeXt so hopefully I will get better at figuring out what 
the key terms should be when searching.

Thanks again.

Perfect. Thank you, Wolfgang.

Is there a way I could have discovered this answer without bothering folks on 
the list?

[NTG-context] Space between heading and paragraph in a description

[Kevin Kenan]

How can I keep the space between the heading text and the paragraph from 
stretching/shrinking in a description? 

MWE that exhibits variable space between the heading (the defined word) and the 
paragraph text:


\definedescription
  [definition]
  [headstyle=italic,
   indenting=1em,
   alternative=hanging,
   margin=2em,
   distance=1.5em,
   width=fit,]

\starttext

\definition{thelongheader} introducing bigwords mid-1990s, humans have taken
an unprecedented step in Earthly annals by introducing not just exotic

\definition{thelongheader} but actually inserting strange and exotic genes
into the base operating systems of individual plants and animals, where
they’re intended to do exactly the same thing: copy themselves, over and
