Getting rid of part numbers

If you have used the part command to create a new run of pages, you will want to get rid of ConTeXt’s feature that automatically generates part numbers. If you don’t disable this feature, you will always get a part number in front of your page number. Most likely, you don’t want this part number, since you can generate your own numbers in XSLT.

\setupreferencing[partnumber=no]

In order to reference a page number (such as when producing a table of contents), create an anchor and then point to that anchor. For example, if we want to create a table of contents that list the the page number for each chapter, we first set up the anchor at the chapter.

\reference[chapt-1-id]

In order to get the page number to this chapter, use the at command, using the same id as for the chapter.

\at[partnumber=no]
\reference[chapt-1-id]

With XSLT, normally one uses the generate-id() function to create unique ids for each section.
