Re: mkiv structure

[Alan BRASLAU <alan.braslau@cea.fr>]

In my experience, a \part is generally
(except in some rather technical documents)
not treated as a super-chapter, that is
chapter numbers (and titles) are not reset
and retain their status as if the book was not
divided into parts.

A very long work is commonly broken into "volumes".
Here, each volume may or may not reset chapter numbers.
Page numbering may or may not reflect the volume number.
This is a sylistic choice.

In my understanding, \part serves to delimit
logical sections of related chapters, not volumes.
Maybe I am wrong in this interpretation;
maybe \part is to be used to delimit volumes.
Nevertheless, it should be relatively simple
for the basic user to be able to select the desired behavior
without having to acquire an understanding of the inner workings
such as prefixsets and sectionsegments.

Obsolete in mkii?
Shouldn't basic use (read standard users)
treat source text transparently
between mkii and mkiv?

\setuphead[part][placehead=yes,resetnumber=no]
\doifmodeelse{mkiv}{
	\setuphead[part][sectionsegments=1:1]
	\setupstructureheads[sectionsegments=2:5]
} {
	\setuppagenumbering[partnumber=no]
	\setuplist[chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection]
		[partnumber=no]
}
