Removing Introduction section number

Removing Introduction section number

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

It might be 100 time this question appears on the list, but I cannot 
find the answer.

I need Introduction to have no number, and next section to have number 
1, so on. My current solution gives me number 2, instead.

Please, look what should be done with my code:

\starttext
\setupindenting[yes, big, first]
\setupheads[indentnext=yes]
\setupfloats[indentnext=yes]

\setuphead[section][number=no]
\section{INTRODUCTION} % should have no number

The syllabus on each discipline is a must for successful teaching 
process organization according to the European Credit Transfer System. 
Teachers and students are to be familiarized with it. Grading system is 
an integral part of the syllabus and provides for assessment of 
student’s knowledge and skills during current, module and semester checks.

Grading procedure is performed according to the national grading scale 
and European Credit Transfer System grading scale.

\setuphead[section][number=yes]
\section{REFERENCE NOTES}  % should have number 1

\subsection{Aim of the discipline}  % 1.1

\subsection{Tasks for learning the discipline} % 1.2

\section{DISCIPLINE CONTENT}  % should have number 2

...

1. Use \subject for the introduction.

2. Use ConTeXt’s document strcuture:

\setuphead[section][textstyle=WORD]

\starttext

\startfrontmatter

\section{Introduction}

...

\stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter

\section{Reference notes}

...

\stopbodymatter

\stoptext

There are two cases:
1. You want Introduction in the table of contents. Then you should copy 
section to another head, and setup it with number=no (have no time to test):

\definehead[secnonum][section]
\setuphead[secnonum][number=no]
\secnonum{Introduction}

2. You don't want Intruduction in the table of contents. Then just use 
\subject{Introduction}.

How to not propagate head settings?

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Interesting, when I set any property of a section, the subsections and 
subsubsections are affected too. This is not bad, but is there a key to 
disable such a propagation?

In the following example I need to turn off textstyle and restore align:

\setuphead[section][textstyle=WORD, style={\bfa}, align=center]
\setuphead[subsection][textstyle={}, style={\bf}, align=right]

Vyatcheslav

This is flexible, but is this really elegant?
Would it not be better (i.e. intuitive) to be able to simply type:
\section [number=no] {Introduction}
After all, one feature that I *really* like about ConTeXt is inheritance and 
default options that can be fixed through \setupsomething, or through a case 
by case basis.



Unnumbered sections is the default within
\startfrontmatter
\stopfrontmatter

However, it is quite logical to also have unnumbered Introduction (and 
Conclusions) in the body of the work that are to appear in the table of 
contents as well.

In a work using \part, the same can apply to \chapter.

Not untill Hans change the parameter handling in the section code,
currently parts use the global settings from \setupheads, chapter
the settings from \part etc.

When you make a example you will notice that \subsubsection use
the values from your \subsection setup for style and alignment.

Re: How to not propagate head settings?

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Thanks, current state of affairs is not bad (maybe even better then 
not-propagating alternative), but it's always good to have another 
option, like

\setuphead[section][textstyle=WORD, style={\bfa}, align=center, 
propagate=no]
\setuphead[subsection][style={\bf}]

:)


Another question - I try to make a macro for a "filled in" date.

Empty date is ok
\def \FillInDate {"\hl[2]"\hl[4]\hskip1mm 20\hl[2]\hskip.5mm}

\starttext
\FillInDate
\stoptext

But my printing date "under lines" is a mess. In particular, I want to 
add a bit more space around numbers, but anything I do, the space is not 
underlined for some strange reason. In contrary, month and year are 
glued together, while I want them to be separated by space.

\def \FilledDate#1#2#3 {"\underbar{ #1 }"\hskip5mm\underbar{#2}\hskip5mm 
\underbar{#3}\hskip.5mm}

\starttext
\FilledDate{06}{05}{2010}
\stoptext

you can try parent= but it might break other propagation

Re: Removing Introduction section number

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

I'm still in need of help with numberless sections.

While using front, body,and back matter sounds goos, but it makes new 
pages. \subject is perfect, but it does not appear in contents.

Most simple (if there is no other options) seems to use \subject, but 
add it to the TOC. How can I do it?

Use \writetolist, maybe:

   \subject{Whatever}
   \writelist[section]{}{Whatever}

Best wishes,
Taco

\setuphead[subject][incrementnumber=list]

Re: Removing Introduction section number

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Thank you all for help.

Actually, I most like front/body matter without page breaks, because it 
further structures the text (the thing I adore in TeX).

there are few exeptions where an {} is also accepted which is handy when

Quite logical and straightforward.

It is useful to read the manual (section 1.3):
"A command is often followed by setups or by text. Setups
are placed between brackets ([]). The scope or range of
the command, the text acted upon, is placed between
curly brackets ({})."

...

I see that my reflexes have been spoiled by years of practice with LaTeX - old 
habits die hard.
Lamport (section 2.5):
"Command arguments are enclosed in curly braces { and },
except for optional arguments, which are enclosed in square
brackets [ and ]."

So I added a paragraph to

The general rule is quite straightforward:

* arguments in {} pairs are typeset material
* arguments in [] are setup instructions and metadata

Whether or not an argument is optional has nothing to
do with the used delimiters.

Yes, of course!
How about \section[reference][number=no]{Whatever}?



The following is a bit verbose. It is related, but is more general than the 
subject of unnumbered sections...

I have to say that I am now a bit confused about the use of arguments in 
ConTeXt.

In LaTeX, optional arguments are contained within [] and required arguments 
are grouped within {}. However, in ConTeXt, the situation is not quite so 
clear. Take \section[reference]{Title} for example. Here, the reference is 
optional and the Title is required, so a title-less section would be 
\section{}. This is somewhat sane, even though one may well use sections 
without titles.

Contrast this with \cite (I choose this example as I just figured-out that its 
misuse was the cause of some obscure problems in a big project). We have 
\cite[key], rather then \cite{key} as in LaTeX. Is this because we may also 
have \cite[authoryear][key]? Of course, the key is not optional as one can 
hardly imagine using \cite without some sort of key, so one might expect 
usage: "as remarked by \cite[authoryear]{Einstein1905}."

My error was to have reflexively used \cite{key}, and this sort-of worked so I 
did not pay it any attention. However, here and there in my document, 
references, for example \chapter[ImportantStuff]{Important stuff} were broken, 
with no obvious reason. After correcting my use of \cite[key], other 
references were suddenly fixed.

In mkiv, can we consider the \section commands as obsolete, since we have

for other tweaking using \definehead[xxx][section] ... is more suitable 
than local tweaking as one often wants to inherit features

this will not happen as the first argument is optional and reserved for

FWIW, I agree with you.

I presently use this myself, as a solution to what I consider to be a missing 
feature. It is convenient, but is not generally elegant either. Again, 
\section[number=no]{...} is quite natural and intuitive.

Actually, I almost never use \writetolist myself, but then I usually
have special sectioning commands (in larger documents):

   \definehead[Usection][section]
   \setuphead[Usection][number=no]

   \Usection{...}

This could be wrapped in a macro if you want key=value parsing.

This is much more elegant than
   \subject{Whatever}
   \writelist[section]{}{Whatever}
repeating "Whatever" twice.

I will repeat here the suggestion, seconded by others, of parsing
   \section[number=no]{Whatever}
to be used notably within \startbodypart...\stopbodypart
Note that an unnumbered \section vs. \subject do not fill exactly the same 
need.


Also, while on the subject of sectionblocks, there should be some way of 
defining
    \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart]
        \setuplist[chapter][label=yes]
    \stopsectionblockenvironment
Presently, this does not work, and simply setting
    \setuplist[chapter][label=yes]
will, of course, put the label ("Chapter") everywhere in the table of contents 
including frontmatter and backmatter, that is if one also redefines
    \setuplabeltext[chapter=Chapter ] % with trailing space
as this is, curiously, blank by default.

This is similar to what I was (intuitively) trying out first, when
tackling this same problem last week...

Couldn't \section[]{} keep accepting the reference label in the square
brackets, and support more comma separated options (for case by case
option adjustment, as Alan mentioned)?

+1 for  \section [number=no] {Introduction}

This was my first guess to try, and it is so convinient!

Thank you too!

I do want Introduction to be in the contents! Maybe, its easier to setup 
\subject so that it will be included, then to invent new keywords?
