For some reason the example you provided does not work at all for me (there is no page break before chapters; perhaps my ConTeXt is too old), so I'm sorry, I could not test this suggestion.

how old is your ConTeXt Version? It must be more than one year old (that is if my memory serves me right).

Not quite that much: ConTeXt ver: 2003.2.11 fmt: 2003.4.4 int: english mes: english and what I was wondering about is, that the command \definepagebreak exists, and I cannot find an error message; so I do not know, where it breaks. But I did not have time to investigate, and am planning to update anyway, when the new TexLive is out ... -- Holger F. Schoener TU Berlin; Dept.

Hi,

I have a very simple challenge: I want to insert a reference point in a document, so that I can later refer to the page number at that point, but I'm not outputting a sectioning or start... command at the point in question.

besides your approach: \starttext See page \ref[p][myref 1] and \ref[p][myref 2]. \page \reference[myref 1]{} This is the first reference. \page \reference[myref 2]{} This is the second one. \stoptext Patrick -- I've put this in etexshow-web

AFAIK No. Yesterday before my update to the current beta i tested the example and it did not work. The version installed was from july this year. With the current beta it works, but gives in the bad result Steffen mentioned if \[start|stop][front|body]matter is present in the file. Esp. that it adds an empty odd page 15. Without those *matter's it works as expected. Jens
