Re: [NTG-context] context manuals sources

That's why I wanted to dig further into the related specific code.

for that purpose there has always been
\setuphead[chapter][incrementnumber=somefilename] % whole doc file
(just as there are parallel documents and such)
but i haven't used it in 10 years; maybe i pick up this feature for mkiv
