ConTeXt MkIV Sectioning

I’ve started the task of documenting the new \startchapter, \startsection etc. commands, based on my own experimenting and the email thread starting at http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg66341.html. These still don’t appear to be documented anywhere easy to find.

Please correct any inaccuracies or omissions; I’m new to ConTeXt and Wiki-editing. GKCJ 01:35, 18 June 2013 (CEST)

start/stop sectioning (maybe not useful nowadays)

Besides the traditional \chapter, \section etc. you can also use the more verbose, but also more flexible version of sectioning commands, these support tagged-PDF, XML and ePUB output better and also allow to insert code at the end of these sections.

Traditional	Start/Stop
\part	\startpart
\chapter	\startchapter
\section	\startsection
\subsection	\startsubsection
\subsubsection	\startsubsubsection
\title	\starttitle
\subject	\startsubject
...	...

Each of these start-commands has a corresponding stop-command to be used at the end of the section. For example:

• \setuppapersize[A8]
  \starttext
  \section[sec:old]{Old Section}
  
  This is an old-style \ConTeXt\ section.
  
  \startsection
    [title={New Section},
     reference={sec:new},]
  
  This is a new-style section.
  
  \stopsection
  \stoptext
