the next beta has: \namedstructureheadlocation{name} so that you can compare \currentlistentrylocation with \namedstructureheadlocation{chapter} (todo: also store locations elsewhere?) Best document this before we forget about it.
Is this a good description of the command's behavior?
All structure heads, regardless of level, get a location number in the order in which they appear. Like so (see also MWE at bottom of this e-mail):
\section{Alpha} % location number: 1; type: section; section number: 1 \section{Beta} % location number: 2; type: section; section number: 2 \subsection{Aap} % location number: 3; type: subsection; subsection number: 1 \subsection{Noot} % location number: 4; type: subsection; subsection number: 2 \section{Gamma} % location number: 5; type: section; section number: 3
\namedstructureheadlocation{X} then returns the location number of the current X, where X is the name of a structure level (e.g. 'chapter', 'section', etc.)
If you ask for e.g. \namedstructureheadlocation{chapter}, and you are not in a chapter, then 0 is returned.
Anything missing?
a location number is some kind of unique internal reference, a pretty old feature btw, dating from the early days of context, when complex interactivity was added, but it comes in handy here Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
