Hi,
Various documents mention a namespace feature for references by setting
prefix=+. This is a really cool feature but I cannot get it to work. Why
does the following example not work:
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\setuphead[chapter][prefix=+]
\starttext
\startchapter[reference=chap1,title={First Chapter}]
\startsection[reference=sec1,title={First Section in First Chapter}]
Reference \type{sec1} is \about[sec1].\par
Reference \type{chap2:sec1} is \about[chap2:sec1].\par
\stopsection
\stopchapter
\startchapter[reference=chap2,title={Second Chapter}]
\startsection[reference=sec1,title={First Section in Second Chapter}]
Reference \type{sec1} is \about[sec1].\par
Reference \type{chap1:sec1} is \about[chap1:sec1].\par
\stopsection
\stopchapter
\stoptext
Any help is appreciated.

Does anybody have a minimal working example on this topic? Because of the
concise syntax prefix=+ it is difficult to google for an example.
This feature is mentioned in two places:
1. contextref.pdf in section 12.5 Cross references explains the main
mechanism but seems a little outdated.
2. Hans Hagen, This Way - Cross document referencing, September 2011.
This is more up to date, but mentions the feature only briefly. The
mentioned key there is not prefix but referenceprefix, which doesn't
seem to work either.

Hi everybody
Is automatic prefixing of references partially broken?
I have found the following example for mkiv in the unofficial test suite (
https://github.com/melmothx/context-unofficial-test-suite):
\setuphead[chapter][referenceprefix=+]
\starttext
\chapter[one]{Chapter One}
\section[bla]{Blablabla}
\chapter[two]{Chapter Two}
See \in{Section}[one:bla]
\stoptext
The test suite also contains the output pdf with the correct reference. So
there must have been a time when mkiv did resolve the reference in the
above example correctly. On my ConTeXt standalone dating 2014.08.19 11:57,
the above example does, however, not work.
The example does only a test of non-local references (from within the
namespace two to the different namespace one). Local references do,
however, work even with my version of ConTeXt. Here is an example:
\setuphead[chapter][referenceprefix=+]
\starttext
\startchapter[reference=chap1,title=First Chapter]
\startsection[reference=sec1,title=First Section in First Chapter]
Reference \type{sec1} is \about[sec1].
\stopsection
\stopchapter
\startchapter[reference=chap2,title=Second Chapter]
\startsection[reference=sec1,title=First Section in Second Chapter]
Reference \type{sec1} is \about[sec1].
\stopsection
\stopchapter
\stoptext
But how can I now reference chap1:sec1 from withing chap2? I tried
\about[chap1:sec1], but in vain.
Referencing the global namespace with -: does, surprisingly, work. Here
is an example:
\setuphead[chapter][referenceprefix=+]
\starttext
\startsection[reference=sec1,title=Freefloating Section]
\about[sec1]
\stopsection
\startchapter[reference=chap1,title=First Chapter]
\startsection[reference=sec1,title=First Section in First Chapter]
Reference \type{sec1} is \about[sec1].\par
Reference \type{-:sec1} is \about[-:sec1]
\stopsection
\stopchapter
\stoptext
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Christoph Reller
