Thank you, Wolfgang,

I changed 'special' into another word and replaced 'incrementnumber=yes' by 'incrementnumber=list'. But the result does still not reach my second goal: my exercise numbers are still 1 and 1 instead of having chapter number prefixes (1.1 and 2.1).

Sytse Knypstra mailto:sytse.knypstra@home.nl 30. November 2015 um 13:06 Dear list,

In the following minimal example I would like to have: 
- the headings of \special in the toc, unnumbered

• in the text, the numbers of the exercises preceded by the chapter

number
 The first goal is achieved when uncommenting the two options under \setuphead,
 the latter is achieved when uncommenting only the second option. How can I realize both simultaneously ?

 Thank you in advance,

Sytse

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 
\definehead[special][subject]

Please use a different name because \special is a existing TeX command (but not used by ConTeXt MkIV).

\setuphead[special]
 [
 % number=no, 
% incrementnumber=yes,
 ]

Use only "incrementnumber=list".

Wolfgang
