Hans, just accidentally, I discovered that adding a head (the content list itself) before the front matter disorders PDF bookmarks (bodymatter is before frontmatter).
Here is a sample \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter,section] \starttext \completecontent %~ \title{Contents} %~ \chapter{Contents} \startfrontmatter \dorecurse{3}{\chapter{Chapter in frontmatter} \section{Section in frontmatter}} \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \dorecurse{3}{\chapter{Chapter in bodymatter} \section{Section in bodymatter}} \stopbodymatter \stoptext Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 ___________________________________________________________________________________
