In this case it is easier to make the actual chapter number include the 'A'. That way, you won't have to worry about "separator" at all (which is good, because its use is confusing).
Try this:
@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -\setupheads[separator=] %<-- this can't be right \setupreferencing[state=start,chapternumber=yes,global=yes] -\setupsection[section-1][conversion=Characters] -\setupsection[section-2][previousnumber=yes] +\def\Mychapter#1{\convertnumber{Characters}{\getvalue{@@sesection-1}}#1} +\defineconversion[MyChapter][\Mychapter] +\setupsection[section-2][conversion=MyChapter]
Ah, thanks so much Taco, never thought of that approach - works like a charm. (I also thought that macros with @ in their names could only be used in protected mode, so that's two things I have learned for the price of one.) Do you think this is general interest enough to warrant wikifying? Thanks very much. Duncan
