[***SPAM***] \inright[][location=hanging]{} does not do what is expected.
by Bill Meahan 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Maybe I'm reading the documentation (such as it is) wrong but I would expect specifying [location=hanging] to drop the margin text down alongside what follows instead of raising up to be even with what has preceded it. Minimal example: \starttext \input montgomery \inright[][align=right,location=hanging]{Shoulder Text} \input knuth \stoptext The "Shoulder Text" is aligned upward from the end of ward so it is alongside the ward quote. I would have expected it to be aligned downward alongside the knuth quote. Am I missing something? -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

\dorecurse and \startcombination

Is it possible to arrange pages so that they fall alternating on two sides of the sheet?
by Marcin Borkowski 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hi all, I have something like this: \definepapersize[thin][width=210mm,height=74.25mm] \setuppapersize[thin][A4] \setuppaper[nx=1,ny=4] \setuplayout[topspace=1.5cm,backspace=1.5cm, header=0mm,footer=0mm, width=middle,height=middle] \setuparranging[XY] I'd like to have pages 1, 3, 5, 7 on one side of the A4 sheet, and 2, 4, 6, 8 on the other one. In other words, there should be two (A4-sized) pages in the pdf. (My use case is a short quiz for my wife's students - she wants to save paper;).) Bonus points for making pages 5-8 *identical* to pages 1-4, so that: on pages 1-2 (top of the A4 sheet, both sides) there is one problem set; on pages 3-4 (just below the previous one) there is another; on pages 5-6 (yet below) the first problem set is repeated; on pages 7-8 (bottom) the second one gets repeated again.

Two columns in a frame
by Mari Voipio 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hi All, I'm doing something where the example at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns#.28Simple.29Columns_in_a_narrow_frame would be quiet useful. Except that if I copy-paste the example in my ConTeXt, I get two columns typeset almost on top of each other, with non-existent column distance (a lot less than on the graphic in the wiki). Attached is what I get out of my ConTeXt, version 2012.05.30 11:26 MKIV BTW, the columns page doesn't seem to contain information on how to force a column break, at least not under that name.... I'm attaching a short version of the file where I'd need it. Being clueless again, thankful for any help, Mari

TeX files in fonts/ directory
by Aditya Mahajan 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hi, I am using ConTeXt standalone. Normally I unzip or git clone the fonts that I regularly use in $HOME/texmf/fonts/opentype/data directory, since I assume that all the extra files in there will simply be ignored by TeX. However, I recently noticed that MkIV finds a test.tex file from inside the fonts/ directory. In particular: $ luatools test.tex /home/adityam/texmf/fonts/opentype/data/euler-otf/tests/test.tex Should luatools only search for tex files inside $TEXMF/tex directories? Aditya

Odd bug with \startitemize
by Rogers, Michael K 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

For some reason I used someone's earlier posting to test something about my tex software and accidentally happened upon this odd behavior. If the \startitemize code below is repeated 10 or more times, either with \dorecurse or by pasting it ten times, only one is typeset. If nine times, then all nine are typeset. If "Some text" is un-commented, then all ten are typeset along with "Some text." (If working with the pasted version, the "Some text" can appear after the first or second iteration, or before any iteration that appears on the first page, and all itemizations will appear.) Michael MWE: ------------------------ \starttext %Some text \dorecurse{10}{ \startitemize \item Find a well-ordered set. \startitemize[n, columns, four][stopper=,left=(, right=)] \item $\{ 2 + \frac{1}{n}, n \in\naturalnumbers\}$ \item $[0, 1)$ \item $\{3 - \frac{2}{n}, n \in \naturalnumbers\}$ \item $ \reals$ \stopitemize \stopitemize } \stoptext ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Epub woes
by Bill Meahan 17 Nov '12

17 Nov '12

I tried to generate an epub document using ConTeXt following the recipe on the wiki. Didn't work. So, I tried running the export-example.tex file that comes with the distribution, unmodified. Same bad results. Cover is not generated TOC is not generated (though it is noted this might be the state of the export) Sectioning doesn't happen. Paragraphing doesn't happen. The resultant epub file cannot even be opened with FBReader. Importing the epub into Sigil shows one big blob of text, with only the between word spacing that's present in the source file. The \quotation{} markup did get turned into quotation marks, chapter numbers were generated and the rest of the markup was stripped out. Same behavior with both the TeXLive 2012 version of ConTeXt and a quite recent beta.

The reason for the smal tolerance was, that I want very small tolerance (= nice result ?) in most cases, but if a word is written in the margin, then it should stretch (word in the margin = worst case for me)

[luatex-plain] loading patterns
by Philipp Gesang 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Hi all! (I assume this is the appropriate list for questions regarding luatex-plain.) I am trying to enable the Russian hyphenation patterns. The demo code below works with luatex.fmt but not luatex-plain.fmt (both from tex live). More precisely, after loading the hyphenation patterns for, say, *Latin* I get proper hyphenation. Now when I attempt the same with *Russian*, nothing is hyphenated. (As lang.patterns(id) correctly returns the patterns in both cases, I guess something is missing after updating tex.language.) Any thoughts? Can someone reproduce this? Philipp ================================================================= \def\loadpatterns#1{% \directlua{ local pattern_source = kpse.find_file"#1" texio.write_nl("* loading patterns from file " .. pattern_source) local fh = io.open(kpse.find_file"#1") local new_patterns = fh:read"*a" fh:close() local new_language = lang.new() lang.patterns(new_language, new_patterns) tex.language = lang.id(new_language) %print(lang.patterns(new_language)) }% } % ····························································· % \showhyphens{Циолковский} %% no pattern yet, so both without \showhyphens{Oenothea} %% hyphenation % ····························································· % \loadpatterns{hyph-ru.pat.txt} %% Russian \showhyphens{Циолковский} %% wrong with luatex-plain % ····························································· % \loadpatterns{hyph-la.pat.txt} %% Latin \showhyphens{Oenothea} %% correct with either % ····························································· % \bye

Tolerance and Stretch versus Protrusion and Ugliness
by "H. Özoguz" 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Hi there, at the moment I use for my book \definepapersize[MyBook][A5] \setuppapersize[MyBook][A5] \usemodule [simplefonts][size=11pt] \setmainfont[Times New Roman][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] \setupalign [hanging] \setuptolerance[stretch] \tolerance 70 Is it suitable to use tolerance and stretch in this way together? Of course I want a nice type area - but for me that means that I definitely don't want a word written in the margin! (That happens with the default \tolerance 250 (without using stretch). What would you recommend? Are there other values to play with, to get a better result? Thanks Huseyin

[NTG-Context] MetaPost capacity exceeded.
by Alan BRASLAU 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

! MetaPost capacity exceeded, sorry [expansion depth=10000]. I have come across this error previously with run-away \dorecurse loops I now have this message with a document that makes VERY heavy use of MetaPost; I just have too many figures. Is there some way to "flush" the running instance of MetaPost, that is to force MPlib to respawn or something like that? (Of course, I would then have to be careful not to rely on the reuse of any previous MP instances...) Alan

Hi, in one of my documents I use a specific random seed to create a fixed random based graphic (size, color, position). This works fine under Windows (where I 'found' the seed value), but I get a complete different result on my Debian system. Is there a way to get identical results on different OS? Or is the random number generator OS specific? Just wondering... Peter

XML and Lua/Ctx
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hello, I've read that when Ctx is to process a XML file, the whole XML tree is loaded first and processed as wanted. I'd need to process a XML file which represents an Excel workbook saved as .xml. When working in pure Lua, I'm using Expat library (http://matthewwild.co.uk/projects/luaexpat/index.html) which allow to create a parser with callbacks (e.g. StartElement(), StopElement(), CharacterData()...). It processes the .xml file on-the-go. However, this solution cannot be used with Ctx as it causes Ctx to crash. How to access a XML file loaded and parsed from within Ctx via Lua? I attach a simple Excel XML (for those who are familiar with Excel and don't refuse using it). As an example, I'd need process the attached .xml into a simple Lua table: ---- -- return -- Lua table as a result { workbooks = { [1] = { name = "1", -- No more info is necessary so far, -- I just need to see the way how to access XML elements }, [2] = { name = "Imp", }, [3] = { name = "Exp", }, [4] = { name = "<Template>", }, } } ---- Could anyone experienced kindly present a way how to get such table from the attached Excel XML file?

after attribute for nested enumeration

Hi all, Is it possible to set the after attribute for a nested enumeration? I've tried setting it directly with no luck, but maybe I'm missing some other flag or attribute I need to set? An example follows. Before text \startitemize[after={\blank[3*big]}] \item Here is an item \startitemize[after={\blank[3*big]}] \item Sub item \item Sub item 2 \stopitemize This text is too close to the nested enumeration. \stopitemize This text is the correct distance from outer enumeration.

images and text stacked in the margin
by Andy Thomas 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Dear list, I am still struggling to achieve the page layout/look that I am trying to get. For an image of the desired page spread please look here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9089117/tufte-spread.png The design is using the ample margin to place text (sidenotes), figures (images) and tables in the margin. I am unable to get both (images and text) to work properly. (1) put all in a \margintext \margintext{...} for text \margintext{\placefigure...} for external images This option does not work if the position is close to a page break (cp. http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20121111.191529.3fbef120.en.html) (2) use two different macros \margintext{...} for text and \placefigure[location=margin]{}{...} for external images This option does not work because they are placed on top of each other. I also tried \startplacefigure, but also no luck. (3) put all in a \placefigure \placefigure[margin,none]{}{Text Text} for text \placefigure[margin,none]{}{...} for external images This works best, because it starts from the top and nicely stacks the marginals. But it introduces a paragraph break where the sidenote is called. This does not work, it defeats the purpose (imagine a paragraph after every footnote). (4) use (3) and postponing \startpostponing [+1]% \startplacefigure[location={margin,none}]% Text text\stopplacefigure% \stoppostponing% Now, the paragraph break is gone, but the sidenote is on the next page, which does not make sense in our case (cp. http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/56388/avoid-line-break-after-macro) In general, I do not understand, where the paragraph break at the \placefigure... comes from. It does not seam necessary in most cases (e.g. location=top) and postponing does avoid it. Can I 'gobble' it somehow? Does anyone have an idea, how to make it work for images as well as text combined? Andy

Beginner question. Chapter heading in words
by Andrew Dowell 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Hi I've some experience with Latex (written a thesis in it) but have just started to try ConteXt as my son wants me to typeset a story he's written as an A5 book, and ConteXt seems to do that more easily than Latex. However, he wants the chapter headings to be on the form: Chapter One This is the Name of the First Chapter ie. with the chapter number in words, centred on the page, and then the title of the chapter centred below it. (By default it seems to do it as a numeral and then the title on the the same line) He'd also like the title of the book as the header for even pages and the title of the chapter as a header for odd side pages. I've looked through the manual but can't find obvious instructions as to how to do this. Thanks for any suggestions. Andrew

Is this possible? A decent syntax could be \connection [cc] {21} This syntax could also nicely work for the other connections, without having to specify "l" or "r" or "t" or "b". Thus, \connection [rl] {21} for the cell {1,1} could be replaced by \connection [cc] {21} yielding the same result. I can figure out how to do this in metapost, but I have not looked into the chart module code. Alan

Dear all, I have to use a special font (DIN) for my document. This font have a really limited number of caracters. Previously I was using ConTeXt MKII with no problems. After migrating to ConTeXt MKiV the math formula and list doesn’t work due to the font. It's like the charset used for the formula and the list bullet are not available. I have not this issue with the same font with ConTeXt MKII. The code used to load the font is not the same for the two version. With MKIV I use the simplefonts module, with MKII I use typescript. Both code are available below. Do you have any idea how could I use DIN font with MKIV without breaking math formula ?

RFC: path relative to current file.
by Andre Caldas 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hello, list! A while ago, I raised a question about how to, in a tex, specify a file with a path relative to the currently being processed file. http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/069132.html http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/068902.html Even though the issue did not get much attention, I do believe it is the right thing to do. I wrote a module to implement a macro I called "\pathrelativetome". My code is still a lot ugly. I don't know how to do many things in Lua, LuaTeX and ConTeXt. It can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/andrecaldas/math-video-classes/src/bade74046a6b/lib It would be REALLY NICE if the functionality of "pathrelativetome" was provided by ConTeXt. call it using, for example: context --usemodule=lib/relativetome src/products/assorted.tex Ugly things remaining: 1. pathstack should be initialized with the path of the first tex script. I.e.: src/products/, instead of pathstack[1] = 'src/products' 2. Functions pop and push should be local. (relativetome.lua) 3. Call function "pop" automatically, just like the "push" function is called automatically. 4. Avoid having to define "\xproject", "\xproduct", "\xcomponent" and "\xenvironment". http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/069305.html Any suggestions/improvements are very welcome! Cheers, André Caldas.

\externalfigure and large-paged pdfs
by Taco Hoekwater 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hi, Actually, this is a bug report. If you try to include a pdf with a large page size: \starttext \externalfigure[plankaart] \stoptext chances are that you get an error message like this: ! Dimension too large. <recently read> \hsize \setraggedness ...yphenpenalty \dimexpr 2.8\hsize /\dimexpr #1\relax \relax ... \raggedcenter ...spac_align_set_raggedness_middle \raggedstatus \plustwo \at... \next ...ght \pack_framed_do_setups \raggedcenter \vss \bgroup \localbegstru... \grph_include_finalize ...tedexternalfigureframed {\vfilll \box \foundextern... \grph_include_place ...ode \grph_include_finalize \fi \ctxlua {figures.pop()... ... l.2 \externalfigure[plankaart] It seems that \externalfigure forces execution of \raggedcenter, and if your PDF's page is large enough, that then fails. There is, in fact, a workaroud: \starttext {\setupalign[nothyphenated]\externalfigure[plankaart]} \stoptext but that looks totally bizarre. Hans, can you find a way to fix this properly? Best wishes, Taco

Spacing around integrals
by Jeong Dal 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Dear Aditya, In "ntg-context Digest, Vol 99, Issue 59", you mention about "\int_a^b", but I could't find the follow-up for that. I also have a similar problem when using "\int_a^b". a and b are located at the bottom and top of the integral sign respectively. Also there is a somewhat big space between the integral sign and "f(x)". I am using the latest beta. Is there any progress for that? Thank you. Best regards.

apa like bibliography: entries not indexed correctly
by Andreas Mang 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Dear all, I am experiencing problems with the bibliography. My bibliographystyle is apa like. In the minimal example given below the maybe year is not set up correctly. That is I would expect to have (Firstauthor et al., 2012a,2011,2012b) but I get (Firstauthor et al., 2012,2011,2012). It took me some time to reproduce this error. My description of the error is probably quite difficult to follow. I hope the example is more intuitive: The reason for this problem to occur is that the entries in the bbl file are probably processed according to the alphabetic order of the last name of the authors. If one refers to an author publishing several articles in a single year (in my example 2012) and there is an additional publication that is published in another year (in my example 2011), the ordering is essentially determined by the first letter of the last name of the second author (if it was a different second author, otherwise third author and so on). If the letter of the second author in the publication published in the year in which there was only a single publication (in my example 2011) happens to be inbetween the letter of the second author on the two publications published in the year in which there have been two publications (in my example the publications in 2012), the publication (in my example 2011) will appear inbetween those that appeared in the same year (in my example 2012). This results in the maybeyear to be screwed up. The listing will be Firstauthor et al., 2012 Firstauthor et al., 2011 Firstauthor et al. 2012 instead of Firstauthor et al., 2012a Firstauthor et al., 2011 Firstauthor et al., 2012b Cheers, Andreas 2012.11.06 09:56 MKIV fmt: 2012.11.7 int: english/english \setuppublications[ alternative=apa-de, sorttype=bbl ] \setuppublicationlist[] %bibtex support \setupbibtex[database={references-example},sort=author] %\setupbibtex[database={references},sort=author] %%%%%%%%%%%% MINIMAL EXAMPLE %%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \cite[Firstauthor:2012b,Firstauthor:2011a,Firstauthor:2012a] \placepublications[criterium=text] \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%% MINIMAL EXAMPLE %%%%%%%%%%%%

New module: crossref

Hi, after the feedback for my first module (pararef) and regarding my next upcoming module I decided to put crossref into its own module, so that it can be used by other modules or without any other module. http://modules.contextgarden.net/crossref Unluckily I forgot to fill out the filename field at the very beginning. As I cannot change the filename anymore, I ask a modules-db admin to change it from -0.9.zip to t-crossref-0.9.zip - thanks! :-S http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Cross_Referencing @Sieste and Wolfgang I removed move my wrong spelling of bra[c]kets and replaced it by left and right as Wolfgang suggested. @Lukas I added your czech alternative. @Philipp I like to put into a public vcs like github. I think it should be something general for all modules (maybe a github like installation on contextgarden? @Philipp and Wolfgang Is there any quick to understand doc for s-mod? @Wolfgang I did not understood your "helpers example". Maybe you can show me a point where it would make sense in this crossref module? Of course to all: feel free to comment it and I hope it will be usefull for some of you. H. PS. Sorry for my half finished post sended before.. it is clearly too late. PPS. pararef will be updated soon to work with crossref

scripts
by Hans Hagen 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Hi, I wasted a whole afternoon figuring out why a job that runs ok on many opensuse machines fails on a machine that runs a debian alpha distribution (customer demand). I already had to fix all kind of startup scripts due to the fact that sh(ell scripts) are run with dash which is incompatible so maybe I should have be more suspicious towards the os instead of trying to fix the tex end. Anyhow, one thing I noticed is that setuptex doesn't seem to work ok i.e. there is something wrong with determining $OWNPATH which makes the initialization fail. Maybe some volunteer can figure that out (there are some catches for other shells in the script too so adding yet another doesn't hurt). But, the biggest surprise (if I got it right) is that in some of the scripts that I use and run from within context, the to be produced results sometimes were there and sometimes not. This got obscured by the fact that in a second run the content actually was there (it has to be fetched from a remote database) but that code like "page \pagenumber\ of \lastpage" failed to report the right last page which in fact was a side effect of the first run not using content. Okay, it got somewhat more obscured by the fact that I used --runs=2 Accidentally, by adding more tracing code, I figured out is that I pipe the messages to a log file using &> which is pretty valid in bash but not so in dash where the & puts the job in the background and thereby let the tex run carry on without waiting. So, it looks like we need to use >filename 2>&1 instead of &>filename. I checked the scripts in the context tree and so far found no occurences but first-setup.sh has two &>'s in it that might need fixing.

Search path for .tex files (mkiv)
by John Devereux 30 Oct '12

Hi, What is the correct way to set or modify the search path for tex files? I want to make it mode-dependent. For example, for figures I have something like \doifmode{en} {\def\FigDirLanguage{fig/lang_en}\def\DocumentSuffix{EN}\mainlanguage[en]} \doifmode{de} {\def\FigDirLanguage{fig/lang_de}\def\DocumentSuffix{DE}\mainlanguage[de]} [...] \setupexternalfigures[directory={fig,{\FigDirLanguage},{../fig},{../\FigDirLanguage}}] I want to be able to do for example \input disclaimer And have it use the correct version. (There are more complicated scenarios too). In case there is a better way to do it, what I want is to have language- or mode- specific versions of some "boilerplate" texts. These would be in individual files. Documents elsewhere in a directory tree could reference these using a standard name and it would be picked according to the set language/mode. Thanks, John -- John Devereux

Creating a background texture with text/graphic
by Mari Voipio 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Hello all! While staring at the pile of ConTeXt instruction book(let)s on my desk, I realized that I should be able to use a logo or a text to create a background texture to use in scrapbooking and cardcraft. The problem is that my skills don't quite stretch that far and I can't remember where I once saw the code for this... The logo I'm thinking of is originally an Inkscape svg file that I've this far used in ConTeXt in pdf format. Other available and compatible vector formats are at least plain svg, ps eps and pdf. Possible solution 1: to insert the logo in MetaPost and use loops, rotate, shft and randomize to create a texture. Loop+shift would make a nice alternating background, randomized with loop and 90degree rotation steps would make a denser texture. The problem: I don't know how to input the logo graphic into Metapost code. This did not work, even though the pdf is in the same directory: externalfigure "vaaka-logo.pdf" scaled 1cm; Don't know if I'm missing something here, this snippet comes from the MetaFun manual p. 199. Unfortunately I don't have pstoedit on my Mac, so the conversion trick on page 198 doesn't work for me. For text there're more ideas and I think I can handle that based on MetaFun manual p. 92 + randomize, but with the external figure I'm at loss on how to do it. Possible solution 2: ConTeXt. Insert here some code I don't have a clue about. Might be ConTeXt only or ConTeXt and Metapost/Metafun together. Inserting the graphic is no big deal in this case, \externalfigure will do that. (I got almost what I wanted by tweaking an older label/imposition file, but I have some weird margin issues there and the positioning system is not very exact and there are a bit too many things that affect the layout. I'd rather put stuff on a grid than just tweak it with the location and margin settings. That's the Word way, in the long run not the smartest way of doing things. I'm planning to use this feature a lot, so I'd rather code something that stands for longer.) Feel free to point me towards the correct wiki pages, my problem may just be that I cannot come up with the correct search term, "background" is not a very good one. And of some reason the garden is not very good at scrapbooking terms (yet). ;-) Note. On the moment I have no need to put text on top of those textures, and I'm not worried about that bit anyway, layers usually work nicely there. Now I'm interested into creating a "personilized" background texture onto which I can e.g. glue a chipboard shape or paper flower or a bit of glitter. It feels stupid to pay for so called digital stamps/textures/backgrounds when I have the tools to create some myself. Running text is easy, but using and reusing one logo would be more fun. :-) Thanks, Mari

Possibilities for basso continuo figures in a text-line disappeared?
by Robert Blackstone 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Hello, The code for including basso continuo figures in a text, added somewhere between may and august this year: \definelow[MyLow][style=\txx,frame=off] \definehigh[MyHigh][style=\txx,frame=off] \definelowhigh[MyLoHi][style=\txx,frame=off] \definelowmidhigh[MyLoMiHi][style=\txx,frame=off] is unfortunately no longer recognized in the minimals I installed today (29-10). They still worked in august (25-08). Have they been changed or accidentally deleted from the source? Could I have them back please? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Hello, I've just updated Ctx: " ConTeXt ver: 2012.10.22 23:51 MKIV fmt: 2012.10.23 int: english/english " - it seems \copypages ignores the 'n' specification: ---- \starttext \copypages[t2.pdf][n=1] \stoptext ---- - both t2.pdf pages are inserted. Any command option changed? Fix needed? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

\setuplayout question
by Marcin Borkowski 28 Oct '12

28 Oct '12

Hello, what is the *default* layout? (I am especially interested in bottomspace - in page-lay.mkiv I found bottomspace=0pt, but this seems not to be the case - even after \setupfooter[state=stop] text does not go to the bottom of the sheet. Which parameter is responsible for that? Regards, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

Problems with sectionreset key for \setuphead
by Wolfgang Schuster 28 Oct '12

28 Oct '12

Hi Hans, there are a few problems with the sectionreset key for \setuphead. In the example below I can only create continues numbers for \section when I “default” as name for \defineresetset (Method 1) or when I apply my own set to the global setups (Method 2). The important second method which is needed when I have multiple headings with the same level where one should continue to the while document doesn’t work. % Method 1: % \defineresetset[default][][0] % Method 2: % \defineresetset[noreset][][0] % \setuphead[section][sectionresetset=noreset] % Method 3: \defineresetset[noreset][][0] \setuphead[sectionresetset=noreset] \starttext \chapter{First Chapter} \section{First Section} \chapter{Second Chapter} \section{Second Section} \stoptext Wolfgang
