Hi Mikael,

I learned the following from Aditya some time ago, on his website Random Determinism: maybe you can adapt it to your needs.

\defineconversion[myset][\star,{\star\star},{\star\star\star}] \defineformula[star][numberconversion=myset]

\starttext \placeformula \startstarformula a^4 + b^4 = c^4. \stopstarformula

\placeformula \startstarformula a^5 + b^5 = c^5. \stopstarformula

\placeformula \startstarformula a^6 + b^6 = c^6. \stopstarformula

\stoptext

Best regrads: OK

Hi!

Is there a way to tag a displayed formula with arbitrary text?

As far as I can remember it was possible to use \eqno before, but that does not seem to be the case anymore.

For my use case I do not need the possibility to cite the equation, if that helps.

I asked the same question at stackexchange (see https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/400257/tag-equation- in-context-with-arbitrary-text), but was redirected here.

I'm thinking of a minimal non-working example like:

\startTEXpage[offset=2bp] \startformula 1+1=2\eqno{A} \stopformula \stopTEXpage

PS I use this when constructing exams. Then it is good to be able to put the points to the right. And sometimes this is done in displayed formulas. For an example of what I mean, made with LaTeX, see http://www.ctr.maths.lu.se/media/exams/funkteori/exam_2017-03-13.pdf ____________________________________________________________ _______________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki!

Thank you Otared, this indeed works, even though it is a bit cumbersome, since one has to update the list when a new "case" is added. I see that this has been asked before, so maybe the best solution would be to have a \tag command. That would solve the issue once and for all, I imagine. /Mikael
