Dear Hans,
Thank you for the nice and straightforward solution. I have tested it
locally and it works. I hope it will be in the next release (should I do
anything?).
By the way, I have a couple of other small issues. I will describe them in
detail in other threads of this mailing list if it is the right place to do
so.
Best regards,
Yaroslav
пн, 30 янв. 2023 г. в 12:52, Hans Hagen via ntg-context : Dear Hans and all contributors, I really appreciate ConTeXt for the right way to obtain high quality
documents. I'm a theoretical physicist and I'm going to write a book. I
think ConTeXt is the right choice to work with a number of formulas,
figures and cross-references. The visual quality of formulas is better
than in regular LaTeX. The new feature with formula autosplitting looks
also very promising. For me it is important to obtain the high quality
without a lot of manual tweaks of each formula for each given document
format and figure placement. However, I have found a problem with references if I compile one
component only. The references to formulas in other components have
wrong prefixes, e.g. (2.1) instead of (3.1). Needless to say, the right
formula references are very important. I started looking into this issue. The references to other components
are taken from the whole product as from an external document. It turned
out that this is a general problem with references with prefixes to
external documents. The prefix is stored in a tuc file as a reference to
a section as a sequential number of the header in the document. As a
result, the prefix from the external document is calculated using the
structure of the current document. Here is the MWE, which consists of two files:
foo.tex: \defineenumeration[remark][prefix=yes, prefixsegments=chapter:section] \starttext Equations: \in[eq1], \in[eq2], \in[eq3], \in[eq4] Sections: \in[sec1], \in[sec2], \in[sec3], \in[sec4] Chapters: \in[chap1], \in[chap2], \in[chap3], \in[chap4] Remarks: \in[remark1], \in[remark2] \startbodymatter \chapter[chap1]{Chapter}
\placeformula[eq1]\startformula x = y\stopformula
\chapter[chap2]{Chapter}
\section[sec1]{Section}
\section[sec2]{Section}
\placeformula[eq1]\startformula x = y\stopformula
\placeformula[eq2]\startformula x = y\stopformula \stopbodymatter \startappendices \chapter[chap3]{Chapter}
\section[sec3]{Section}
\placeformula[eq3]\startformula x = y\stopformula
\section[sec4]{Section}
\startremark[remark1]\stopremark
\placeformula[eq4]\startformula x = y\stopformula
\startremark[remark2]\stopremark
\chapter[chap4]{Chapter} \stopappendices \stoptext bar.tex: \starttext Equations: \in[foo::eq1], \in[foo::eq2], \in[foo::eq3], \in[foo::eq4] Sections: \in[foo::sec1], \in[foo::sec2], \in[foo::sec3], \in[foo::sec4] Chapters: \in[foo::chap1], \in[foo::chap2], \in[foo::chap3],
\in[foo::chap4] Remarks: \in[foo::remark1], \in[foo::remark2] % any chapters and sections here \stoptext It is expected to have the same first page on these documents: Equations: 1.1, 2.2, A.1, A.2
Sections: 2.1, 2.2, A.1, A.2
Chapters: 1, 2, A, B
Remarks: A.2.1, A.2.2 However, the bar.tex produces wrong prefixes to formulas and remarks.
The output depends on the document structure of bar.tex, not foo.tex. I started looking into the source code. Thanks to lua, it is not a big
deal to track the problem. The prefixdata is complemented by the
sectiondata after the loading the tuc file. So, the question is: is it
possible to store the full prefixdata with all necessary prefix numbers
in the tuc file? Here is my proposal to change the source code: --- strc-lst-old.lmt 2023-01-29 11:30:15.610309948 +0300

local useddata = data.useddata After this small change, all the references are correct. However, I'm
quite new to ConTeXt, so maybe here are some caveats. It would be great
to fix the references to formulas, especially for the forthcoming
document about maths. On 1/29/2023 5:03 PM, Yaroslav Beltukov via ntg-context wrote:

end there might be a few more such places where we can bind to the loaded data Hans -----------------------------------------------------------------
