I'm experimenting with making a heading that is like a chapter in format
but has its own numbering (or lettering). The purpose to have an
interlude, or extended example, every few chapters. The following
almost-minimal example almost does so. However, the second interlude is
numbered with 'A' instead of 'B'. Is there a missing key=value pair, or
is the approach completely wrong?
\definesection[nc]
\setupsection[nc][conversion=Characters]
\definehead[interlude][section=nc,default=chapter]
\setuphead[interlude][incrementnumber=yes]
\starttext
\title{Contents}
\placelist[chapter,interlude]
\chapter{Chap 1}
\interlude{Interlude 1}
\chapter{Chap 2}
\interlude{Interlude 2}
\stoptext

An enumeration passes the duck test [1] for headings, so ... [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_test \defineenumeration [interlude] [before=\page,conversion=Characters,way=bytext,list=interlude, text={Interlude }] \defineenumeration [interludeA] [before=\page,conversion=Characters,way=bytext,list=interludeA, text=, listtext=, title=yes, titleleft=, titleright=] \starttext \title{Contents} \placelist[chapter,enumeration:interlude,enumeration:interludeA] \chapter{Chap 1} \interlude{Interlude 1} \interludeA{{Interlude 1}} \chapter{Chap 2} \interlude{Interlude 2} \interludeA{{Interlude 2}} \stoptext Aditya ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

The main trouble is that descriptions do not set any marking, and there are not enough hooks to set a mark. But we can still use poor man's marks: macros! % First we need two types of headings: for chapters and for interludes startsetups[headline:chapter] {\ss\it Chapter \getmarking[chapternumber].\quad\getmarking[chapter]} \stopsetups % Marking version does not work ... see comment below % \definemarking[interlude] % \definemarking[interludenumber][expansion=yes] % % \startsetups[headline:interlude] % {\ss\it Interlude \getmarking[interludenumber].\quad\getmarking[interlude]} % \stopsetups % So we define our own marks \def\interludeMARK{empty} \def\interludenumberMARK{empty} % And a second version of heading \startsetups[headline:interlude] {\ss\it Interlude \interludenumberMARK.\quad\interludeMARK} \stopsetups % The header texts need to switch between the two \setupheadertexts[\setups{headline:\CURRENTDIVISION}][pagenumber] \setuppagenumbering[location=] % We start with current division as chapter \def\CURRENTDIVISION{chapter} % Provide an option of switching on interlude pages \couplepage[interlude][before={\gdef\CURRENTDIVISION{interlude}}] \startsetups interlude \page \pagetype[interlude] \stopsetups % And switch back on chapter pages \setuphead[chapter][before={\page[right]\def\CURRENTDIVISION{chapter}}] % Now define the enumeration \defineenumeration[interlude] [before=\setups{interlude}, conversion=Characters,way=bytext,list=interludeA, text=, listtext=, title=yes, titleleft=, titleright=, titlecommand=\interludemarking] \def\interludemarking#1% {\gdef\interludeMARK{#1}% \global \edef\interludenumberMARK{\getnumber[\currentdescriptionnumber]}% #1} % Ideally, I would have liked to use marks, but this does not work % Probably because we are inside a box % \def\interludemarking#1% % {\marking[interlude]{#1}% % \marking[interludenumber]{\getnumber[\currentdescriptionnumber]}% % #1} \starttext \title{Contents} \placelist[chapter,enumeration:interlude,enumeration:interludeA] \chapter{Chap 1} \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth \endgraf} \startinterlude {Interlude 1} \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth \endgraf} \stopinterlude \chapter{Chap 2} \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth \endgraf} \startinterlude {Interlude 2} \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth \endgraf} \stopinterlude \stoptext At this stage I am not sure whether you gain anything by using enumerations. You get predefined support for numbering and lists, but that is not too hard to write on your own.
