[NTG-context] how to change metadata halfway through document
Am trying to understand how best to change the title metadata in
headertext halfway through a document that has two parts: Constitutions
and Regulations.
My first attempt (did not work)
\startsetups[headertext]
\startdocument
[metadata:title={Regulations}]
\stopsetups
\setupheadertexts
[ ] [{\getmarking[chapter]\hskip1em \pagenumber}]
[{\pagenumber \hskip1em \setup{headertext}}] [ ]
My second attempt (quite crass, but it works!!) was to create a second
\startdocument within the main \startdocument (obviously closing it
towards the end but before the main \stopdocument), this time with
[metadata:title={Regulations}] instead of the original
[metadata:title={Constitutions}]. However, I have a strong feeling this
is not a very elegant solution!
Thoughts?

Better use setups instead of a macros, like in
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Headers_and_Footers
In setups, you must use explicit space commands, since whitespace
doesn’t matter.
It seems when placing the macro inside \setupheadertexts, the text is
reduced to a single line. Any code involving \frames{} doesn't seem to
work normally. Its all compressed to a single line, then centered.
How can I put a mult-line frame or multi-line text in the headers and
footers?
MWE please.

Re: [NTG-context] Wrong prefix in cross references to formulas in external document
I, too, am struggling with external (and internal) references.
I have created (and sent to Hans) a MWE that seems to identify two bugs:
1) External references: in a single product, some of these work, and
*some* do not render the numbers (using \in{} [ref], for example). They
are, however, identified as known or "verified".
2) Internal references: all render but *some* get "missing link target"
errors (in the PDF viewer).
I have not been able to get anywhere with the (lua) code, myself.

Re: [NTG-context] Can ConTeXt print specific paragraph and sentences from an input file?
I've tried to keep all of the input files entirely plain text, as much as
possible. The exception is two custom macros used to mark citations that are in
the text, \turabian{}{}{} and \ibid{}{}{}. I could find no way of getting
around including that in the text, as legally I must include the citations. The
rest of the text is plain text with no other ConTeXt markup, or at leave hardly
any.

depends on the kind of input, coding etc .. how reliable is is to
recognize a sentence and such, but given that tex is a programing
environment all is possible in the end

there are some provisions for spaces in text but for verbatim it is a
bit more tricky
\setuptyping[space=on]
you now see visual spaces show up that can be copied
now, say that we add real spaces, which you can do after and this (in
cont-new.mkxl):
\unprotect
\setvalue{\??typingspace\v!character}{\chardef\obeyedspace32 }
\protect
and then:
\setuptyping[space=character]
in sumatra pdf:
default : spaces are copied as spaces (so three become three
on: visual spaces for every one
character : funny newlines when more than two spaces
OK, I see, thanks for the explanation! Indeed, when I look at the
makeup, there is no glue there to offset the line. But in Okular it just
ignores those spaces.

Unfortunately as I just found out, comments are also viewer dependent...
For instance in Firefox, indentations are lost.
So for now, attached files for longer snippets and visual spaces with a
string replacement operation afterwards are the way to go it seems.

[NTG-context] Wrong prefix in cross references to formulas in external document
Dear Hans and all contributors,
I really appreciate ConTeXt for the right way to obtain high quality
documents. I'm a theoretical physicist and I'm going to write a book. I
think ConTeXt is the right choice to work with a number of formulas,
figures and cross-references. The visual quality of formulas is better than
in regular LaTeX. The new feature with formula autosplitting looks also
very promising. For me it is important to obtain the high quality without a
lot of manual tweaks of each formula for each given document format and
figure placement.
However, I have found a problem with references if I compile one component
only. The references to formulas in other components have wrong prefixes,
e.g. (2.1) instead of (3.1). Needless to say, the right formula references
are very important.
I started looking into this issue. The references to other components are
taken from the whole product as from an external document. It turned out
that this is a general problem with references with prefixes to external
documents. The prefix is stored in a tuc file as a reference to a section
as a sequential number of the header in the document. As a result, the
prefix from the external document is calculated using the structure of the
current document.
Here is the MWE, which consists of two files:
foo.tex:
\defineenumeration[remark][prefix=yes, prefixsegments=chapter:section]
\starttext
Equations: \in[eq1], \in[eq2], \in[eq3], \in[eq4]
Sections: \in[sec1], \in[sec2], \in[sec3], \in[sec4]
Chapters: \in[chap1], \in[chap2], \in[chap3], \in[chap4]
Remarks: \in[remark1], \in[remark2]
\startbodymatter
\chapter[chap1]{Chapter}
\placeformula[eq1]\startformula x = y\stopformula
\chapter[chap2]{Chapter}
\section[sec1]{Section}
\section[sec2]{Section}
\placeformula[eq1]\startformula x = y\stopformula
\placeformula[eq2]\startformula x = y\stopformula
\stopbodymatter
\startappendices
\chapter[chap3]{Chapter}
\section[sec3]{Section}
\placeformula[eq3]\startformula x = y\stopformula
\section[sec4]{Section}
\startremark[remark1]\stopremark
\placeformula[eq4]\startformula x = y\stopformula
\startremark[remark2]\stopremark
\chapter[chap4]{Chapter}
\stopappendices
\stoptext
bar.tex:
\starttext
Equations: \in[foo::eq1], \in[foo::eq2], \in[foo::eq3], \in[foo::eq4]
Sections: \in[foo::sec1], \in[foo::sec2], \in[foo::sec3], \in[foo::sec4]
Chapters: \in[foo::chap1], \in[foo::chap2], \in[foo::chap3], \in[foo::chap4]
Remarks: \in[foo::remark1], \in[foo::remark2]
% any chapters and sections here
\stoptext
It is expected to have the same first page on these documents:
Equations: 1.1, 2.2, A.1, A.2
Sections: 2.1, 2.2, A.1, A.2
Chapters: 1, 2, A, B
Remarks: A.2.1, A.2.2
However, the bar.tex produces wrong prefixes to formulas and remarks. The
output depends on the document structure of bar.tex, not foo.tex.
I started looking into the source code. Thanks to lua, it is not a big deal
to track the problem. The prefixdata is complemented by the sectiondata
after the loading the tuc file. So, the question is: is it possible to
store the full prefixdata with all necessary prefix numbers in the tuc
file? Here is my proposal to change the source code:

After this small change, all the references are correct. However, I'm quite
new to ConTeXt, so maybe here are some caveats. It would be great to fix
the references to formulas, especially for the forthcoming
