Re: [NTG-context] Chapter number retrieval

22 Mar 2022

      Hi Willi,

You could also access the number by using the
\getmarking[chapternumber][current].
I think you have used a similar approach in the
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Thumb_index.

Hello Adam!
Many thanks for your solution. — It works very well in your example and
also in an extended version with \startfrontmatter..\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter…\stopbodymatter. — Unfortunately It does not work to my
wish in the actual setup of my book. — I am using now the solution
presented by Sreeram.
Again thank you so much!
Kind regards
Willi

Hi,
There is a good overview of accessible variables at:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/134474/context-part-chapter-section-...
Maybe you want something like this?
\starttext
\setuphead[chapter][number=no]
\startchapter[title={My Chapter}]
Hello world!
\startMPcode
label("\currentstructurelistnumber\ \currentstructuretitle", origin);
draw fullcircle scaled 3cm;
\stopMPcode
\stopchapter
\stoptext

Willi, offlist: Have to admit I didn't actually try your own comment,
but if it doesn't work, I'll be interested in the eventual answer. I
recently had to do something similar for the TOC, and Hraban pointed me
to \currentlistentrynumber. There probably has to be a command along
those lines (which led me to your 2011 comment, sorry 😁) for non-list
retrieval. \structurenumber? \currentstructurenumber? Something along
those lines? There seem to be a number of these but as yet undocumented
as far as I can see.

Hi Julian,
:-) I am confronted with my own comments :-)
However, this is precisely what I am using in my attempt to get this
hidden number. But no it does not appear…
Thank you!
Willi

Willi,
I see a comment by yourself back in 2011 at
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Last_Head_Number
I wonder if this helps?

Hello everybody!
I would like to typeset the chapter title without number in the
text. — However I still would need to retrieve the number for a calculation
in a MetaFun graphic. I assume, that even though this number is not
typeset, it is kept in the background. How to retrieve it?
Kind regards
Willi
