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

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]

Regards,
Vyatcheslav

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]

and

\placelist[chapter,section,subject,...]

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 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}.

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.

Alan
