I am trying to change the spacing of a chapter title head. I found the
"\kern" command; however, I could not get that to work over a string of text.
Then I found the following code:
\def\dolist{\afterassignment\dodolist\let\next= }
\def\dodolist{\ifx\next\endlist \let\next\relax
\else \\\let\next\dolist \fi
\next}
\def\endlist{\endlist}
\def\track#1\by#2{\def\\{\next\kern#2}%
\leavevmode \hbox{\expandafter\dolist#1\endlist}}
Then I tried:
def\MyChapterCommand#1#2{
\framed[align=center,frame=off,width=\textwidth]{
\vbox{
\track{This is a Test} \by{.2em}
\track #2 \by{.2em}
}
}
\setuphead[chapter][
command=\MyChapterCommand
}
The output from the \track{This is a Test} \by{.2em} works. However, the
second track command (\track #2 \by{0.2em}) fails.
I spent many hours last night trying to change the kerning. What I want is
something like: \kern{TEXT}{KERNING AMOUNT}.
What's available, or how do I fix the track command above. By the way,I'm
running mkii.
Thanks,
Bart
