Hi again all,
I'm plunging deep into ConTeXt nowadays so I have a few more questions in store, and here's one below. But I have to repeat, ConTeXt is an amazing thing for which I'm truly grateful. I'm currently using it to typeset a complex etymological dictionary at my job, and my doctoral dissertation as well, and I have absolutely *no* idea what I would do without it (what, MS Word? perish the thought!)!
So, right now I'm exploring the table of content possibilities. I was wondering if it was possible to use a continuous chapter numbering throughout a whole document, across several parts. So, for example, I'd have chapters 1, 2, 3, 4 in part 1, and chapters 5, 6, 7, 8 in part 2, and so on.
Thanks again! Jeff
You asked one of ConTeXt's horribles configurations (hidden and only documented in old list questions and answers) % continue page number over parts and remove part number %\setuppagenumbering[way=bytext,partnumber=no] % continue chapter numberind over parts \setuphead[part][resetnumber=no] % make a part header %\setuphead[part][placehead=yes] \starttext \dorecurse{4} {\part{Part} \dorecurse{4} {\chapter{Chapter}}} \stoptext Wolfgang
