Yep. Thanks.

I am now using section blocks to create meta-sections, so that inside
the body-matter sections have no numbers whilst the appendices do. It
works great.

One minor problem though. I need the appendices to have labels, like:
Appendix I, etc..

\setuplabeltext[appendix=Appendix] does not work in this situation
what is the correct way of doing it?

Thanks,

Elliot

You also need to tell context to use the labeltext, by saying

\setuphead
   [section]
   [appendixlabel=appendix,
        placehead=yes]

% Make sure that \setuplabeltext[section=] is empty.
% By default it is empty.

Thanks. That does the trick.

You can separate the appendices by a section block. For example

% appendix is already a section block. By default, a section
% block starts a new page, you may not want that in a journal
\setupsectionblock[appendix][page=]


% Change the conversion for sections in appendices.
\setupsection
   [section-3]
   [appendixconversion=Romannumerals]


\starttext

\section{Test}

\startappendices
\section{An Appendix}
\stopappendices

\stoptext

You need not redrive \Author from section. You can use use totally 
different markings, as shown below.


% Define your own marking.

\definemarking[Papertitle]
\definemarking[Author]

% Set that marking.

\marking[Papertitle]{This is a \CONTEXT\ example}
\marking[Author]{Aditya Mahajan}

% Allow ConTeXt to do the rest :-)

\setupheadertexts[Papertitle][Author]

\starttext test \stoptext

A couple of questions on heads.

[Elliot Clifton]

Hi,

I'm still a relative newbie. I enjoy using ConTeXt and have achieved
some great results with it, but some issues still trip me up.

I'm typesetting a journal. I use \chapter to divide it into articles.
I've defined my own heads, and I need to redefine \appendix, however
despite reading the manual I cant get them behave as I want.

Problems:

1. Each article may have appendices. I've tried defining my own
'appendix' head to replace the default one, but I can't decide which
to use, should I derive from chapter or section? The problem with
using section as the base, is that the count from my previous sections
is inherited.  I don't want numbers of the form 1.1, 1.2, etc, either.
I want to number my appendices independently, starting from 1 without
the chapter  number. Also, I would like to use roman numerals.

2. I derived \Author from \section with expectation that
\setupheadertexts[Papertitle][Author] would yield a header containing
the author's name and the paper's title, however I get the title of
the most recent section instead of the author. What can I do about
this?

thanks,

Elliot
