I’d like a book with chapters to have sections/parts, e.g. something that groups a few \chapter elements together. Is there support for this in LMTX? I.e. in such a way that it also shows up in the table of contents?

You can use \part. Wolfgang

Yes. Thanks. But that leads to additional questions: - how do I get the parts to show up in the table of contents? Because I tried \part but it did not show up - how do I let chapters number on (not restart in each part, and not a x.y number but simply ‘2. Chapter’ - what is a good way to create actual RHS ‘title’ pages for each chapter? - how do I get parts to number with Roman numerals? Gerben

I can't reproduce the problem, do you have a example.

Use \defineresetset as shown below.

Use a doublesided layout.

See below.


% Change the number conversion for section titles

\defineconversionset [section] [Romannumerals] [numbers]

\setuphead
   [sectionconversionset=section]

% Show only the chapter value for chapter

\setuphead
   [chapter]
   [sectionsegments=chapter]

% Don't reset the counter for parts and chapters

\defineresetset [default] [0,0] [1]

\starttext

\completecontent

\dorecurse{4}
   {\expanded{\part{Part \recurselevel}}
    \dorecurse{5}{\expanded{\chapter{Chapter \recurselevel}}}}

\stoptext

I don’t know what actual RHS title pages are: \definestructureresetset[default][0,1,1][1] \definestructureconversionset[sectionnumbers][R,n][n] \setupheads[sectionconversionset=sectionnumbers, sectionresetset=default] \setuphead[part][placehead=yes] \setuphead[chapter][sectionsegments=chapter] \setuphead[section][sectionsegments=chapter:section] \starttext \completecontent \dorecurse{25}{\part{Part} \chapter{Chapter} \section{Section} \section{Section}} \stoptext Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

I define my own versions of \part and \chapter (called \Part and \Chapter) and specify a different display style using setups. The definition for \Part is below, \Chapter is very similar so I haven't included it. %% Double rule above part title \startsetups PartSetup \setupheader[state=empty] \par \startMPcode draw (0,2mm)--(TextWidth,2mm) withpen pensquare scaled 1.5mm ; draw (0,0)--(TextWidth,0) withpen pensquare scaled 1.0mm ; clip currentpicture to unitsquare yscaled 1cm xscaled TextWidth \stopMPcode \stopsetups \define[2]\placePartTitle{\midaligned{#2}} %% The above line is what I use. You want Roman numerals so maybe adapt it to: %% \define[2]\placePartTitle{\midaligned{\convertnumber[Romannumerals][#1] #2}} \definehead [Part] [part] \setuphead[Part] [ page=right, placehead=yes, style={\stylePartTitle}, %% this is just from a \definefont before={\setups{PartSetup}}, command=\placePartTitle, ] With \setuplayout[location=doublesided] this then comes out on the RHS. For the ToC, I use: \setuplist [alternative=b] \setuplist [Part] [ headnumber=no, margin=0cm, width=0cm, distance=0cm, style=\tocStylePartTitle, ] \setuplist [Chapter] [ headnumber=no, margin=1em, width=0cm, distance=0cm, ] \setupcombinedlist [content] [list={Part,Chapter}] then \placecontent prints the chapter titles indented under each part.

Worth just quickly noting that the default for \part is placehead=no. You need to explicitly set placehead=yes for it to actually output the heading. See https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/_section#Parts On Sun, 24 Oct 2021 at 00:02, Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context < ntg-context@ntg.nl> wrote:
