Hello. I'm still in the newbie category with ConTeXt, and am getting to grips with bookmarking of PDFs for the first time ever. The following example gives the correct hierarchy of subordinated bookmarks - part, chapter, and section, each progressively indented in the bookmark column at the left. However, I don't want the parts to have numbers at all, and I want the chapters to be numbered 1, 2, etc. (not 1.1, 1.2, etc.). If I ever go live with ConTeXt, the sections won't have any numbers at all (and I can see how to set this up), but in this default example I would like them also to shift up one decimal place: 1.1., not 1.1.1, and so on. I'm guessing there's an option in \part that I should be invoking, but I don't immediately see what that is (there doesn't seem to be a \startpart...\stoppart to allow the relatively straightforward customization that we get with chapters and sections). Here is the example: \setupinteraction [state=start] \setupinteractionscreen [option=bookmark] \placebookmarks[part,chapter,section] \starttext \part[title=Introduction,bookmark=Introduction,number=off] \noheaderandfooterlines INTRODUCTION \page \noheaderandfooterlines \page[odd] \startchapter[title=First Chapter] \noheaderandfooterlines \input tufte \startsection[title=First section] \input knuth \stopsection \startsection[title=Second section] \input zapf \stopsection \stopchapter \page[odd] \startchapter[title=Second Chapter] \noheaderandfooterlines \input tufte \startsection[title=First section] \input knuth \stopsection \startsection[title=Second section] \input zapf \stopsection \stopchapter \page[odd] \part[title=PART II,bookmark=Part II,number=off] PART II \noheaderandfooterlines \page \noheaderandfooterlines \page[odd] \startchapter[title=Third Chapter] \noheaderandfooterlines \input tufte \startsection[title=First section] \input knuth \stopsection \startsection[title=Second section] \input zapf \stopsection \stopchapter \page[odd] \startchapter[title=Fourth Chapter] \noheaderandfooterlines \input tufte \startsection[title=First section] \input knuth \stopsection \startsection[title=Second section] \input zapf \stopsection \stopchapter \stoptext Best wishes John *🇪🇺 * Слава Україні! * 🇺🇦* http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail Virus-free.www.avg.com http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

Have you tried \setuphead[part][number=no]?
Von: John Was

Also, \startpart is listed on this page: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/_startsection

Dear Denis
Thanks. The [number=no] option doesn't seem to work but I'll look into
\startpart... \stoppart, which aren't in the (obviously outdated) reference
manual that I was consulting.

Sure it does. But using number=off seems to cause some trouble.
The other thing is: If you don’t want to place the part title manually, you can actually show the part title with \setuphead[part][placehead=yes]

Dear Denis
Yes, of course - I've been oscillating between no, off, and 0 during
various experimental versions (not just of header setups) and clearly ended
up somewhat confused. It doesn't take much these days...

Worth also looking at something like
\setupsection[section-2][previousnumber=no] - see
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupsection for (some) details
about how each level of hierarchy is addressable through this mechanism.
