Hi all, I'm trying to use \getparameters, but I'm doing it wrong. What I want to do is: define an environment which starts linenumbering and takes a key=value argument to define the start of the numbers. Here's what I tried (I also tried a few other things, such as \setvariables, but wasn't any more successful): \definestartstop[mynumberedblockquote] [before={\blank[line] \setupindenting[no] \setuplinenumbering[width=1cm,start=\getvalue{testsetupsstart}] \startlinenumbering}, after={\stoplinenumbering \setupindenting[yes] {\blank[line]} \par}] \def\startnumberedblockquote#1[#2]% {\getparameters[testsetups][start=1,#2]% \startmynumberedblockquote} \define\stopnumberedblockquote% {\stopmynumberedblockquote} \starttext Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores et ea rebum. Stet clita kasd gubergren, no sea takimata sanctus est Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. \startnumberedblockquote [start=9] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet \stopnumberedblockquote Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores et ea rebum. Stet clita kasd gubergren, \startnumberedblockquote[start=19] consetetur sadipscing elitr sed diam \stopnumberedblockquote \stoptext But for some reason, the numbers are not local for each block. Can anybody shed some light into these (for me) dark an mysterious corners of ConTeXt? Thanks a lot! Thomas
