Can you not specify a full list of sections in your exporter code and then truncate that list to the appropriate value of n before generating the ConTeXt source from the truncated list? Assuming you are using an Emacs macro to do the export then the following code will return the first 2 from the list of section types: (let ((list '("part" "chapter" "section" "subsection" "subsubsection" "subsubsubsection" "subsubsubsubsection"))) (butlast list (- (length list) 2))) I stole that from StackOverflow so I'll leave it to you work out how to get your depth variable substituted for the 2. :-) Note that you probably don't want "part" but I include it for completeness. Best to start with "chapter". — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
