Hi again, sorry for bothering you so persistently, but I really did try to hard to find a solution -- and failed: In the attempt to customise my section headings by means of \setuphead[section][...command=] I followed the instructions at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Figures_in_Headings#Figures_in_Headings . For the purposes of testing, I've installed a current minimals distribution. As it turns out, neither MkII nor MkIV processes the attached example as expected: MkII The table of contents is incomplete, even though the wiki says it shouldn't be; MkIV \currentheadnumber seems to be 0 all the time. There is a possibility, of course, that something is wrong with my setup of ConTeXt. But I just did another % ./first-setup.sh --context=current Thanks in advance for any hint, Elias %%%%%%%%%% \setuphead[section][textcommand=\Myhead,numbercommand=\Mynum] \def\Myhead#1{% Sect \currentheadnumber} \def\Mynum#1{} \starttext \completecontent \chapter{First chapter} \section{First section} Some text. \chapter{Second chapter} Introductory text. \section{First section} More text. \section{Second section} The end. \stoptext

I see. Well, this seems to fix the issue with MkIV at least. Thanks, Elias

Since I need customised headings like above in the same document that also features footnotes in the margin, I'm wedged now. As explained in http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20100812.153552.6606809c.en.html , I'm forced to use MkII to get footnote ordering right. On the other hand, only MkIV produces a complete table of contents when I customise the headings in that document. Is there any chance to get one of those bugs fixed or to find a suitable workaround in either of the two versions of ConTeXt? Thank you ever so much for any help, Elias

The solution seems to be to use deeptextcommand instead of textcommand.

Apart from Wolfgang's solution, I have now realised that MkIV allows to use command instead of textcommand / numbercommand and still produces a complete table of contents. Accordingly, the setups look like this: \setuphead[section][command=\Myhead] \def\Myhead#1#2{% Sect #1} Regards, Elias

Well, actually, when I really need just a number as in \def\Myhead#1#2{\externalfigure[chapter-\currentheadnumber]} I'm still in trouble as far as MkIV is concerned. Can I somehow extract that number from the argument? Or can MkIV be changed to provide \currentheadnumber as does MkII? Personally, I'm content with using MkII right now. So, I'm asking out of curiosity here and for the purpose of updating the wiki page referenced above. Regards, Elias

Hi, \namedheadnumber{chapter} gives the real number (ie an integer) of the chapter. Of course, this could be used with other headings. -- Cédric On Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 11:53, Elias Oltmanns wrote:
