Wolfgang Schuster already answered me on this (see https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg78847.html): > It’s a bug and hopefully fixed in a new beta but the counter is only reset > when you increment the value. If you need the value of a counter with "way=bypage" without modifying its value, the workaround is: - increment the counter to force its reset by page - decrement it to get the correct current value Greetings, Massi ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
