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
