That is what I know: part is the highest level of a structure (e.g. a book). Part title will not occur in the TOC unless you change the settings manually (look in the main manual for \setuppagenumbering,look at chapter "text elements" main manual, pp 135, > > How do exactly front, body, back matter and appendices environments work? By means of these you van devide a document in different portions, which have each their own "style" e.g. pagenumber in roman numerals, headings numbered with characters instead of figures (e,g, appendices). Of course you can change the standard set options. > How do the system modes (*...-modes) work exactly?

There is a lot of information available. Context knows a bunch of manuals: http://www.pragma-ade.com/ and there is a wiki: http://contextgarden.net/Main_Page Kind regards Willi > > Greetings >
