Hi all, I have a technical manual setup in ConTeXt whereby the manual itself is a ConTeXt 'project' and each chapter is a different component. Within this, I need to group some chapters together so these grouped chapters are products. Thus, I have: project: MyManual component: Chapter 1 component: Chapter 2 component: Chapter 3 product: Example 1 component: Chapter 4 component: Chapter 5 product: Example 2 component: Chapter 6 component: Chapter 7 product: Example 3 component: Chapter 8 component: Chapter 9 ... Is there a way to have the chapter numbers be continuous rather than resetting at the beginning of each product? I have already disabled product numbers in a setupheader command but I'm stumped at how to make the chapter numbers continuous. I've tried playing with "incrementnumber=file" but I'm not sure this appropraite... any hints here would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

Hello Randall, it's considered, that the project-file contains only setup-commands and a list of products, but no commands, that generate directly output. When you compile a product, the referenced project-file gets included in some manner, so every product of the project will inherit the same setups. Compiling the project-file is seldom useful. It will generate all products in one file. Consider just, that one product is one document, and a component is a kind of "sub-document" for example a chapter. And the project-file is just a list of documents, that should inherit some common setups. I suggest the following structure: project: MyManual product: the manual component: Chapter 1 component: Chapter 2 component: Chapter 3 component: Chapter 4 component: Chapter 5 component: Chapter 6 component: Chapter 7 component: Chapter 8 component: Chapter 9 product: Example 1 component: title page for example 1 component: Chapter 4 component: Chapter 5 product: Example 2 component: title page for example 2 component: Chapter 6 component: Chapter 7 product: Example 3 component: title page for example 3 component: Chapter 8 component: Chapter 9 I hope, this helps.

\setuphead[chapter][resetnumber=no] \starttext \chapter{test} \section{foo} \section{bar} \chapter{test} \section{foo} \section{bar} \stoptext should work with part as well Hans
When I read emails from Hans like this one, I get very suspicious that he has a time machine to go backward a few months in time and add a feature so that it is already there when it is being requested --- Matthias On Oct 24, 2005, at 5:59 PM, Hans Hagen Test wrote:

well think of this: we really needed those feature some time ago, but never had time to document them at that moment; there is quite some nasty stuff in there, esp with regards to sectioning Hans
