Trouble with customising section heads

Trouble with customising section heads

[Elias Oltmanns]

Hi again,

sorry for bothering you so persistently, but I really did try to hard to
find a solution -- and failed:
In the attempt to customise my section headings by means of
\setuphead[section][...command=]

I followed the instructions at
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Figures_in_Headings#Figures_in_Headings
. For the purposes of testing, I've installed a current minimals
distribution. As it turns out, neither MkII nor MkIV processes the
attached example as expected:
MkII The table of contents is incomplete, even though the wiki says it
     shouldn't be;
MkIV \currentheadnumber seems to be 0 all the time.

There is a possibility, of course, that something is wrong with my setup
of ConTeXt. But I just did another
% ./first-setup.sh --context=current

Thanks in advance for any hint,

Elias

\setuphead[section][textcommand=\gobbleoneargument,numbercommand=\groupedcommand{Sect 
}{}]

I see. Well, this seems to fix the issue with MkIV at least.

Thanks,

Since I need customised headings like above in the same document that
also features footnotes in the margin, I'm wedged now. As explained in
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20100812.153552.6606809c.en.html
, I'm forced to use MkII to get footnote ordering right. On the other
hand, only MkIV produces a complete table of contents when I customise
the headings in that document.

Is there any chance to get one of those bugs fixed or to find a suitable
workaround in either of the two versions of ConTeXt?

Thank you ever so much for any help,

Elias

The solution seems to be to use deeptextcommand instead of textcommand.

> MkIV \currentheadnumber seems to be 0 all the time.

Apart from Wolfgang's solution, I have now realised that MkIV allows to
use command instead of textcommand / numbercommand and still produces a
complete table of contents. Accordingly, the setups look like this:
\setuphead[section][command=\Myhead]
\def\Myhead#1#2{%
    Sect #1}

Regards,

Elias

Well, actually, when I really need just a number as in
\def\Myhead#1#2{\externalfigure[chapter-\currentheadnumber]}
I'm still in trouble as far as MkIV is concerned. Can I somehow extract
that number from the argument? Or can MkIV be changed to provide
\currentheadnumber as does MkII? Personally, I'm content with using MkII
right now. So, I'm asking out of curiosity here and for the purpose of
updating the wiki page referenced above.

Elias

Hi,

\namedheadnumber{chapter} gives the real number (ie an integer) of the
chapter. Of course, this could be used with other headings.
