header labels

header labels

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi all,

I've just hit some rather interesting interaction. I wanted my  
sections numbered A. Title, B. Title etc. This works, unless I choose  
language [deo]. Here's a short test document that demonstrates the  
behavior:

\mainlanguage[de]

\setupsection[section][conversion=A]
\setuplabeltext[section={{},{.~}}]

\starttext

\section{Number One}
dummy
\section{Number Two}
dummy
\section{Number Three}
dummy

\stoptext

If you replace language[deo] with language[de], things work as  
expected. Any explanation for this behavior?

Best

Thomas

(Untested)

\setuplabeltext[de][section=....]

Nice try, but no cigar :-) Even with \setuplabeltext[deo][...], it  
still gobbels the periods after the converted numbers. Strange...   
Thanks for your help, Aditya!

Hi Thomas,

there problem is related to all languages that are defined as synonyms
for other languages, this means the same happens for uk and us.

I found a solution by changing the definition from \defaultlanguage in
lang-ini.tex.
Add the next macro to your document.

\def\defaultlanguage#1%
  {\ifcsname\??la#1\c!default\endcsname
     #1%
   \else
     \csname\??la#1\c!default\endcsname
   \fi}

Hi Wolfgang,

thanks a lot! We're sitting in Epen right now; Mojca is 
giving a presentation, so I'll have to wait a bit to look 
into your solution, but the explanation makes perfect 
sense.

Thanks, and best wishes

Thomas
