how to (re)set section numbers

how to (re)set section numbers

[j. van den hoff]

I have followed the recommendations how to include unnumbered sections in  
the table-of-content along
the lines

\setuphead[subject]
      [incrementnumber=yes,number=no]


etc.
this works OK if the unnumbered sections are at the end of the document.  
otherwise the enumeration of the actually
(visibly) numbered sections is messed up (i.e. if a `subject' section  
goes, e.g. _before_ all actually enumerated
sections, there counters are off by one).

question: what is the best way of (re)setting the section counters? i.e.  
if the doucment structure is, e.g.,

\subject
\section
\subsection
\section
\subject

I'd like to end up with the ToC containing entries for all subjects and  
sections but the numbered sections should occur (in ToC and document) as  
1, 1.1, 2 rather than 2 2.1, 3 (in this example). I was not able to find a  
solution in the documenation/wiki.

thx,
joerg

Can you send a *working* minimal example.

yes, of course (I presumed this to be not necessary here):

\setuphead[subject]
    [incrementnumber=yes, number=no]
    \setuplist[section][width=1.5em]
    \setuplist[subsection][width=2.25em, margin=1.5em] %`margin' determines  
alignment
    \setuplist[subject][margin=1.5em]
\setupcombinedlist[content]  
[list={chapter,section,subsection,subject,subsubject}]
\starttext
\completecontent
\subject{this subject messes up the further enumeration of numbered  
sections}
bla
\section{this should be sec. 1}
bla
\subsection{this should be subsec. 1.1}
bla
\section{this should be sec. 2}
bla
\subject{this subject does no harm...}
bla
\stoptext

In my real life example the first `subject', e.g., contains a Glossary of  
abbreviations and I want to start the actual enumeration with the body  
text proper (Introduction and onwards), while still listing the glossary  
in the ToC. and I did not find any other (general) solution in the docs,  
how to include unnumbered sections in the ToC...

thx, joerg

You need

    \setuphead[subject][incrementnumber=list]

because when you write „incrementnumber=yes” you tell context to increment the counter for \subject
which uses by default the \section counter.

I see. thanks a lot. I took my 'wisdom' from  
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents#Including_unnumbered_heads_in_the_ToC
which seems somewhat deficient. I'd try to augment that section. anyway,  
there seems no documentation of what `incrementnumber=list' is doing?
is it only there to lead to listing/inclusion of the respective section  
type in the ToC?

although you've solved my present problem perfectly: _is_ there a way to  
reset the (sub)section counters (or to set them to prescribed values)?

FYI, I've tried to update the wiki accordingly:
