Section Numbering

Section Numbering

[Aditya Mahajan]

Well this should be very easy to do in context, but I can not seem to 
find the right switches. For a document that I am writing, I want 
section and subsection numbers to display as follows

A. Section 1
A-1 Section 1, subsection 1

B. Section 2

and  so on. What is the magic command?

This will give A, B etc. section numbers. I do not know about the rest

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

Thanks a lot. This gives me A, B, etc. I added

\setuphead[subsection]
           [separator=-]

to get a dash between the section number and subsection. In the 
context manual, separator is not documented in \setuphead but rather 
in \setupheads. I just tried it, crossed my fingers and it worked :)

Thanks,
Aditya
