Correct usage of \placebookmarks
Hello there, I've stumbled upon a behaviour in CTX that I don't fully understand. My goal is to create a multipage document *without* heads (title, chapter, etc) but only text. Yet I would like to create bookmarks. So my MWE looks the following: \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \definelist[Marks] \placebookmarks[Marks][Marks][force=yes] \starttext \bookmark[Marks]{Bookmark one} \input tufte \page \bookmark[Marks]{Bookmark two} \input knuth \stoptext Yet CTX doesn't create bookmarks in that case. I first have to add a blank predefined header like chapter or section anywhere in the text: \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \definelist[Marks] \placebookmarks[Marks][Marks][force=yes] \starttext \bookmark[Marks]{Bookmark one} \input tufte \page \bookmark[Marks]{Bookmark two} \input knuth \startchapter[title={},marking={}] \stopchapter \stoptext Although I haven't added chapter key to \placebookmarks, so that it also doesn't show up in the bookmarks window, only then CTX seems to create bookmarks for the list which I created called Marks. Is there a way to circumvent this? I'd like boomarks only where I place them manually, without using headers. Thanks in advance, Lars.

Sometimes \enabledirectives[references.bookmarks.preroll] helps. Didn’t check with your example, though. Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Well, that's what I call patience. I don't want to be offensive, yet there are several reasons which lead to my assumption, which I'd rather not discuss at this point.
It there any reason not to use a head?
Yes there is. It's a multi-page letter in which I simply don't use heads. A second scenario is the merging of several PDF documents into one, again without using heads. So far I've been using third-party software to create bookmarks. Yet I'd like to keep my working environment as minimaistic as possible (editor, CTX). I'd love to believe that CTX is powerful enough to achieve that goal.
\setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \placebookmarks[Marks][Marks][force=yes]
\definehead [Marks] [subject] [placehead=empty, before={}, after={}]
\starttext
\Marks[title={Bookmark one}] \input tufte
\page
\Marks[title={Bookmark two}] \input knuth
\stoptext
That's all I wanted, just some advice. Even a "it's not possible at this time" would have been satisfing. I will test your code as soon as I'm home and report on it. Thank you very much Henri. Cheers.

Bookmarks and especially interference with structure is a tricky thing and not many users know all the details so sometimes you have to wait till someone has time to answer (personally i never use bookmarks so when i see such a mail i just wait till someone else answers ...). Normally answers on this list are rather fast so when you don't get one, (1) maybe no one knows the answer yet, (2) your question moved out of the view in the mailer (happens to me), (3) those who know are busy and answering questions is normally not in ones job discription. As Henri says: if after a while you still have no answer (or figured it out) just bump the question.

I also sometimes get the impression that my requests are ignored until I become pushy. But I’m quite sure it’s mostly just the complexity of my questions (or maybe lack in clearness) that decreases the answering priority, nothing personal. Myself I’m usually only active on this mailing list while I work on ConTeXt projects myself (which is becoming more frequent again).

Often the command argument is a useful hack, like: \define[2]\MyChap{\relax} \setuphead[chapter][command=\MyChap] Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD
