Hi Hans, I noticed that with the latest mkiv (version 2013.01.22 18:33 MKIV fmt: 2013.1.22) when the sections have no numbers two « ! » are printed and this behavior is new: with previous versions when invoking for instance \in{other section}[sec:other] there used to be a link to the "other section" and no « ! ! ». I understand that there has been a change in this behavior, but is there a way to suppress the two « ! ! »? Here is a minimal example: %%%% begin bug-reference.tex \setupinteraction[state=start] \setuphead[section][number=no] \starttext \section{First Section} \input knuth.tex See the \in{other section}[sec:other] below. \page \section[sec:other]{\bf Second Section} Here is another section. \input ward.tex \setuphead[section][number=yes] \section{Third Section} \input knuth.tex See the \in{other section}[sec:other-2] below. \page \section[sec:other-2]{\bf Fourth Section} Here another section. \input ward.tex \stoptext %%%% end bug-reference.tex Best regards: OK

IIRC this was a feature request a while ago, the macros to print ?? and !! are defined as \def\dummyreference{{\tttf ??}} \def\wrongreference{{\tttf !!}} Wolfgang

As there are indeed side effects I'll remove that options. Asking for a number of an unnumbered section is weird anyway.

I'm the one to blame!

I hope you mean that you change the default back to the old behaviour and the dummy text can be activated using the tracker.

Sure, it doesn't make sense. But it happens if the style changes halfway during production. In my case I had to change the \in to \about for the unnumbered sections. Since I couldn't find a regular expression for that, I had to change it manually and forgot a few. If a dummy text is printed, it's easy to grep for that. Marco

Hi, Thanks to Hans and Wolfgang for your attention and the workarounds you offer. When I want to refer to an un-numbered section, it makes sense in an interactive document. Maybe, instead of \in{other section}[sec:other] I should use another command such as \about[sec:other] but in this case all the title of the section in question will be typeset: this is fine when this title is short enough, but it may be ugly if the title is long, or when one wishes to refer to that section by a paraphrase. Best regards: OK
