Hi,

Various documents mention a namespace feature for references by setting prefix=+. This is a really cool feature but I cannot get it to work. Why does the following example not work:

\setupinteraction[state=start] \setuphead[chapter][prefix=+]

\starttext

\startchapter[reference=chap1,title={First Chapter}] \startsection[reference=sec1,title={First Section in First Chapter}] Reference \type{sec1} is \about[sec1].\par Reference \type{chap2:sec1} is \about[chap2:sec1].\par \stopsection \stopchapter

\startchapter[reference=chap2,title={Second Chapter}] \startsection[reference=sec1,title={First Section in Second Chapter}] Reference \type{sec1} is \about[sec1].\par Reference \type{chap1:sec1} is \about[chap1:sec1].\par \stopsection \stopchapter

\stoptext

Any help is appreciated.

Does anybody have a minimal working example on this topic? Because of the concise syntax "prefix=+" it is difficult to google for an example.

This feature is mentioned in two places: 1. contextref.pdf in section "12.5 Cross references" explains the main mechanism but seems a little outdated. 2. Hans Hagen, "This Way - Cross document referencing", September 2011. This is more up to date, but mentions the feature only briefly. The mentioned key there is not "prefix" but "referenceprefix", which doesn't seem to work either.

Hi everybody Is automatic prefixing of references partially broken? I have found the following example for mkiv in the unofficial test suite ( https://github.com/melmothx/context-unofficial-test-suite): \setuphead[chapter][referenceprefix=+] \starttext \chapter[one]{Chapter One} \section[bla]{Blablabla} \chapter[two]{Chapter Two} See \in{Section}[one:bla] \stoptext The test suite also contains the output pdf with the correct reference. So there must have been a time when mkiv did resolve the reference in the above example correctly. On my ConTeXt standalone dating 2014.08.19 11:57, the above example does, however, not work. The example does only a test of "non-local" references (from within the namespace "two" to the different namespace "one"). Local references do, however, work even with my version of ConTeXt. Here is an example: \setuphead[chapter][referenceprefix=+] \starttext \startchapter[reference=chap1,title=First Chapter] \startsection[reference=sec1,title=First Section in First Chapter] Reference \type{sec1} is \about[sec1]. \stopsection \stopchapter \startchapter[reference=chap2,title=Second Chapter] \startsection[reference=sec1,title=First Section in Second Chapter] Reference \type{sec1} is \about[sec1]. \stopsection \stopchapter \stoptext But how can I now reference chap1:sec1 from withing chap2? I tried \about[chap1:sec1], but in vain. Referencing the global namespace with "-:" does, surprisingly, work. Here is an example: \setuphead[chapter][referenceprefix=+] \starttext \startsection[reference=sec1,title=Freefloating Section] \about[sec1] \stopsection \startchapter[reference=chap1,title=First Chapter] \startsection[reference=sec1,title=First Section in First Chapter] Reference \type{sec1} is \about[sec1].\par Reference \type{-:sec1} is \about[-:sec1] \stopsection \stopchapter \stoptext Any help is appreciated.
