I looked into section 8.5 in the manual, but didn't get it yet. The
relevent command seems to be \definesectionblock, however after eg

\definesectionblock [myblock] [headnumber=no]

I don't know what is the command to start/stop the block. I tried either

\definesectionblock [myblock] [headnumber=no]
\startmyblock ... \stopmyblock

or 

\definesectionblock [myblockpart] [headnumber=no]
\startmyblockmatter ... \stopmyblockmatter

(guessed from \definesectionblock [bodypart] and 
\startbodymatter ... \stopbodymatter)

but none of them works.  Do you have please any further hints?

Thanks,
Thanh

\definesectionblock [myblock] [myblocks]

\setupsectionblock [myblock] [number=no]

\starttext

\startmyblocks

\chapter{Whow, this is My Block!}

\stopmyblocks

\stoptext

The two argument approach permits definitions of more meaningful commands,
like singular/plural destinction (needed for                          the
dutch interface) like frontpart for the general name of a block, but
frontmatter for the command [suggested b y sebastian rahtz].

thanks, Hans. Can you please also tell me how to define the label of the
chapters inside myblock? The command \setuplabeltext seems to have global
effect.

Re: how to define another part of a document

[Peter Jander]

Hi,

a while ago the code below was given as an example how to format 
a part of a document differently. However when I run that code the 
outline of the document is:

1 OEPS
1 OEPS
1 OEPS

Is there a way to have the outline like this:

1 OEPS
2 OEPS
3 OEPS

i.e. use the same chapter counter inside the user-defined 
sectionblock as outside?

Thanks,
Peter Jander

What exactly do you want to achieve, maybe you're looking for heading
clones and not for section blocks.

I was looking for a clean way to typeset in landscape mode a 
chapter containing wide tables (plus change in interlinespace). 

Probably localenvironments are more appropriate, but I couldn't 
make them work.

Thanks for any advice,
Peter

the whole chapter or just one page;

you can try 

[some text] \page 

\setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape]

[wide text] \page 

\setuppapersize[A4][A4]

Re: how to define another part of a document

[Peter Jander]

Well, 
I wanted to keep the settings out of the source of my document. 
Don't bother with that, I defined two macros

\StartLandscape
\StopLandscape

in the setup section of the document. Works fine, I was just 
wondering if there is a way build into ConText to support this kind 
of local settings.

Thanks,
Peter

Not yet, but there will be 'definable layout's' that cn be called anywhere .

how to define another part of a document

[Han The Thanh]

Hi all,

how can I define another part for a document which has been not pre-defined
yet? E.g. something similar \startappendices ... \stopappendices, but for
another purpose?

Thanks,
Thanh

See chapter 8.5.
