Hans, Referencing equations from another context document is what I am trying to do. It think the \usereferences tag that you noted in the ideal solution for my case. Thanks again for the help. -Lance ------------- On 6/7/2013 4:01 PM, Lance Larsen wrote:

luigi,

When I started exploring how to map equation references (eq:name) to equation numbers (4.2), I noticed that the 'tuc' file included the equation reference (eq:name), but I was not able to identify anywhere where it indicates the actual equation label specified in the document. Below is an example of the tuc output. 'eq:DVOL_RVI_17' is equation (4.28) in the document:

{ ["metadata"]=142, ["numberdata"]=237, ["prefixdata"]=11, ["references"]={ ["block"]="bodypart", ["internal"]=122, ["realpage"]=47, ["reference"]="eq:DVOL_RVI_17", ["section"]=79, }, }

There is nowhere in the tuc file that contains 4 and 28 near each other. I checked this for other equations as well and concluded that the tuc file does not contain the actual equation numbers that are used.

because there are indirect references to for instance 'numberdata' where this info sits

If I am missing something or you have any other suggestions that might help me to extract this info, I would sure appreciate the help.

see previous mail btw, if you just want to use references in another tex doc, this will do the trick: \usereferences[somedoc] \starttext \in{formula}[somedoc::a] \in{formula}[somedoc::b] \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
