Hmm… although I got your example to work after some tweaking (changing \samplefile to {input and placing knuth.tex and zapf.tex in the same folder as the test file), I could not reproduce this with my book. I want to get "chapter 4" but keep getting "chapter 4.0". Is this because I am using MkII with XeTeX? Robert

Dear wizards of ConTeXt, In the final stage of completing a book project, I was wondering how to automatize cross references to chapters. I’ve already figured out how to refer to pages (using “\at[REFERENCE]”), but how is this done with chapters? I’m apparently too simple-minded to understand the manual (and I don’t understand the differences between \reference, \textreference, \in, \about).
When you use \chapter:
\starttext
\chapter[sec:knuth]{Knuth}
\samplefile{knuth}
See \in{chapter}[sec:zapf] at \at{page}[sec:zapf].
\chapter[sec:zapf]{Zapf}
\samplefile{zapf}
See \in{chapter}[sec:knuth] at \at{page}[sec:knuth].
\stoptext
