I am trying to set up chapter heads a certain way and my code keeps getting uglier. Here are the specs: 1. Chapter number centered, with decorations on either side. 2. Chapter title centered below chapter number. 3. Additional decoration centered below chapter title. 4. Both number and text show up in TOC in normal Context manner. Can this be done easily using the normal chapter macro or should I do it all from scratch? (If I roll my own I worry about getting info to the TOC.) -- John Culleton

I am doing something like that now. Sorry the example isn't very pretty,
had to rip out parts that were specific to the font I'm using, but
should give you an idea of what you need to do.

===== Your example was very helpful. Using it, and with some more RTFM, I came up with this configuration:
\setuphead[chapter][numbercommand=\numcommand,page=right, header=none,textcommand=\texcommand,align=right] \def\numcommand#1{\hfil\webo m\hfil\tfd#1\hfil\webo m\hfil\break} \def\texcommand#1{\hfil #1 \hfil\crlf\deco} My problem remains with the horizontal alignment of the chapter text. I have tried left, right, normal, broad. All I want to do is center it, per my specification 2 above. Webo is the webomints dingbat font. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf

Hi John, I think if in \setupframed at the beginning of the example (sent by Stuart Jansen) instead of \def\mychapter#1#2% {\setupframed[width=1.75in,align={right,broad},frame=off]\vbox{% you say \def\mychapter#1#2% {\setupframed[width=\textwidth,align=middle,frame=off]\vbox{% you get what you want. Best regards: OK

Some interesting approaches here, for sure. I am hanging on to these posts. I chickened out and did a plain TeX macro. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \def\Chap#1 #2.{\page[yes] \ifodd\count0\else\noheaderandfooterlines\page[yes]\fi \noheaderandfooterlines \line{\hfil\webo m\hfil\lower 4.5pt\hbox{\it\tfd#1}\hfil\webo m\hfil}\blank[big] \line{\tfc\hfil#2\hfil} \blank[big] \writetolist[chapter]{\tf #1}{\tf #2} \deco } \def\deco{\blank\noindent\hfil\webo 4\hfil\break\blank \rm} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% But when time permits I will play with the other approaches mentioned. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf

Necessity overtook schedule. So I used the Jensen approach (thanks) modified as recommended by Kavian (thanks) with a few minor changes to suit my application. Herewith the final product: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \def\numcommand#1{\hfil\webo m\tfd#1\webo m \hfil} %\unexpanded\def\chaptercase{\uppercase} \def\mychapter#1#2% {\setupframed[width=\textwidth,align=middle,frame=off]\vbox{% \framed{\setupbodyfont[18pt]\setupinterlinespace[height=.1,depth=0] #1}% \framed{\setupbodyfont[15pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=2ex]#2\par}% \deco\par}} \setuphead[chapter][numbercommand=\numcommand,page=right, header=high, command=\mychapter,%textcommand=\chaptercase, textstyle=\sl,numberstyle=\bf] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I kept the unused \chaptercase definition around just in case I change my mind later on.
