Problems with sectionreset key for \setuphead

Problems with sectionreset key for \setuphead

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Hi Hans,

there are a few problems with the sectionreset  key for \setuphead. In the example below I can only create continues numbers for \section when I “default” as name for \defineresetset (Method 1) or when I apply my own set to the global setups (Method 2).  The important second method which is needed when I have multiple headings with the same level where one should continue to the while document doesn’t work.

% Method 1:
% \defineresetset[default][][0]

% Method 2:
% \defineresetset[noreset][][0]
% \setuphead[section][sectionresetset=noreset]

% Method 3:
\defineresetset[noreset][][0]
\setuphead[sectionresetset=noreset]

\starttext

\chapter{First Chapter}

\section{First Section}

\chapter{Second Chapter}

\section{Second Section}

\stoptext

Wolfgang

I stared at it for a couple of hours at it's a tricky mechanism (and 
potentially confusing as we mix a document property with local settings).

I added a patch for you to play with. The testfile is sections/tricky-001.

You can disable the trickert with

local saveset = false -- line 236

in strc-doc.lua.
