Yep. Thanks.
I am now using section blocks to create meta-sections, so that inside
the body-matter sections have no numbers whilst the appendices do. It
works great.
One minor problem though. I need the appendices to have labels, like:
Appendix I, etc..
\setuplabeltext[appendix=Appendix] does not work in this situation
what is the correct way of doing it?
Thanks,
Elliot
