\defineenumeration

Syntax

\defineenumeration[...,...,...][...][...,...=...,...]
[...,...,...]	name
[...]	name
[...,...=...,...]	see \setupenumerations

Description

With \defineenumeration you can define the commands for a numbered text element, like remarks or questions. For example, if you want numbered remarks in your document you can define the environment as follows:

\defineenumeration
[remark]
[location=top,
text=Remark,        % Display header as "Remark 1"
headstyle=bold,     % Bold remark headers
inbetween={\blank[nowhite]},   % No blank line between remark header and remark
after=\blank]       % Blank line after the remark.

This creates the new commands \remark, \resetremark, \nextremark, and \startremark ... \stopremark, as well as the same commands for subremark and subsubremark.

Example

\setupindenting[yes,small,first]

\defineenumeration
  [remark]
  [location=top,text=Remark,inbetween={\blank[nowhite]},after=\blank,headstyle=bold,margin=1in]

\starttext
  \remark
    An enumeration (\tex{remark}, in this case) takes the paragraph that follows 
    it as its argument.

  \remark
    This is the first paragraph after \tex{remark}. It is part of the remark.

    This is the second paragraph after \tex{remark}. It is not part of the remark.

  \startremark
    This is the first paragraph inside \tex{startremark}. It is part of the remark.

    This is the second paragraph inside \tex{startremark}. It is part of the remark.   
  \stopremark

  \subsubremark Presto!

\stoptext
