Hello,

I need a tiny bit of help with properly setting up the appendices.

1.) I would like to include both chapters and titles. Is this the proper way to go? (It took me a while to figure out how to include the titles at all.)

\setuphead [title] [incrementnumber=list] \placelist [title,chapter,section] [criterium=all,alternative=c]

But why is there less space in front of a \title{...} in TOC than in front of a \chapter{…}?

You can use the “margin” key to indent the title entries but unnumbered chapter are still wrong aligned.

I'm sorry, that was a misunderstanding. I was referring to the vertical alignment, not to the horizontal one. It's perfectly OK if the title is aligned "flushleft", but there's less vertical space in front of it.

Because title uses the global values for the space before the entries unlike chapters which use a customised value, you can change this by adding \setuplist[title][before={\blank[preference,big]}] to your document.

Now a couple of follow-up questions. The tables are now numbered in a very weird way. It's now "Table 1.VI" instead of "Table E.1" for the first table in Appendix E. Which keys control numbering of tables? (Or better yet: what's the reference for MKIV to find that out, if any?)

You can change the counter and prefix conversion of floats with the prefiixconverionset and numberconversionset key for \setupcaption.

If I use "sectionstopper=:" and then try to reference it with \in[appendix:label-for-this-appendix], I get the colon there as well which is not desired, so I probably need to use another trick to get the colon. Should I change the numbercommand in \setuphead and \setuplist or is there a different trick?

Use \setuphead[section][numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{:}] instead of \setuphead[section][sectionstopper=:] Wolfgang
