Meer, Hans van der mailto:H.vanderMeer@uva.nl 8. Oktober 2015 um 12:13 The reference manual explains that one can set individual numbers on a chapter: \setuphead[subsection][ownnumber=yes] \subsection{399}{The old number}

So I tried \setuphead[chapter][ownnumber=yes] but then I am in the dark how to use this. The reference manual (september 2013 -- latest?) was of no help because it does treat \chapter but not yet explains \startchapter. Neither did the ConTeXt Commands (July 2015 version) offer me I clue.

I tried \startchapter[number=6] but this doesn't work. How to? You need \setuphead[chapter][ownnumber=yes] only when you want to use the \chapter command but not when you use \startchapter.

\starttext \startchapter[title=Knuth] \input knuth \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Zapf,ownnumber=11] \input zapf \stopchapter \stoptext Wolfgang
