Backmatter preventing section numbers from appearing

Backmatter preventing section numbers from appearing

Dear All,

I've noticed that the mere presence of backmatter prevents my sections from
being numbered. Consider the following:










*\starttext\startsection[  title={Create Serverless
Applications},]blablabla\stopsection%\startbackmatter % comment
out%\stopbackmatter % comment out\stoptext*

Uncommenting lines 8 and 9 causes the section numbers to disappear.

Is this normal behavior? Why does the presence of backmatter affect my
sections like this?

Regards,

Amine

technically there can be many so called sectionblocks in any order and 
as one is chosen and no previous one has been set, all preceding sec 
tions will end up in that first block (kind of fix the structure) .. 
this is needed to get things like bookmarks right

so ... when you use sectionblocks used them consistently i.e. use 
bodymatter wrapping for the preceding sections
