Hi Bruce,
I had an analogous problem a while ago, but with 7 chapter files, which I
treated manually…
Your solution is a very nice one, thank you for sharing !
For the archives, if one wishes to have the correct chapter number in each
separate PDF file, one could change the content of « test.tex » file as follows:
\starttext
\setupheadnumber[chapter][\cldcontext{\env{ChapNo}-1}]
\input chapter-\env{ChapNo}.tex
\stoptext
Best regards: Otared
