Hi again, sorry for bothering you so persistently, but I really did try to hard to find a solution -- and failed: In the attempt to customise my section headings by means of \setuphead[section][...command=] I followed the instructions at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Figures_in_Headings#Figures_in_Headings . For the purposes of testing, I've installed a current minimals distribution. As it turns out, neither MkII nor MkIV processes the attached example as expected: MkII The table of contents is incomplete, even though the wiki says it shouldn't be; MkIV \currentheadnumber seems to be 0 all the time. There is a possibility, of course, that something is wrong with my setup of ConTeXt. But I just did another % ./first-setup.sh --context=current Thanks in advance for any hint, Elias %%%%%%%%%% \setuphead[section][textcommand=\Myhead,numbercommand=\Mynum] \def\Myhead#1{% Sect \currentheadnumber} \def\Mynum#1{} \starttext \completecontent \chapter{First chapter} \section{First section} Some text. \chapter{Second chapter} Introductory text. \section{First section} More text. \section{Second section} The end. \stoptext
