lost in documentation

[Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini]

Hallo,

this are the things which driving me nuts:

Suppose I want to numerate my sections with uppercase characters.
In texshow-web I found

\setuphead[section-3][bodypartconversion=Characters]

but this does not work. I deleted the 's' from Characters

\setuphead[section-3][bodypartconversion=Character]

but that is not working too.

At the garden page 'titles' I found

\setupsection[section-3][bodypartconversion=Character]

that works, but it does not correspont to the syntaxdescription in 
texshow-web, which is

\setupsection[...][...][...,...=...,...]
[...]	name
[...]	name
conversion	numbers characters Characters romannumerals Romannumerals
previousnumber	yes no 

The second parameter should be a 'name' and bodypartconversion is not 
a parameter at all.

Looking at the description, my problem should be solved by

\setupsection[section-3][][conversion=Characters]

and this works. But the version

\setupsection[section-3][conversion=Characters]

works too. Why? And what is the difference to the first solution?

So much open questions. So much lost time.

Wolfgang, a little bit frustrated.

Can you make a minimal example or should we waste our time to write one for you?

Sorry, here it is:

\starttext
From texshow-web
{
\setuphead[section-3][bodypartconversion=Characters]
\section{One}
}
but this does not work. I deleted the 's' from Characters
{
\setuphead[section-3][bodypartconversion=Character]
\section{Two}
}
but that is not working too.

At the garden page 'titles' I found
{
\setupsection[section-3][bodypartconversion=Character]
\section{Three}
}
that works, but it does not correspont to the syntaxdescription in
texshow-web, which is

\starttyping
\setupsection[...][...][...,...=...,...]
[...]	name
[...]	name
conversion	numbers characters Characters romannumerals Romannumerals
previousnumber	yes no
\stoptyping

The second parameter should be a 'name' and bodypartconversion is not
a parameter at all.

Looking at the description, my problem should be solved by
{
\setupsection[section-3][][conversion=Characters]
\section{four}
}
and this works. But the version
{
\setupsection[section-3][conversion=Characters]
\section{five}
}
works too. Why? And what is the difference to the first solution?
\stoptext
