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.

Christoph Reller
