Hi, when I set up the Chapter in the following way (*** indicating the relevant option) \setuphead[chapter] [style={\switchtobodyfont[15pt]}, grid=bottom, number=yes, ownnumber=no, page=no, continue=yes, header=empty, footer=empty, align=left, *** alternative=middle, textstyle=normal, placehead=yes, indentnext=no after={\blank[2\ZEILE,flexible]}] I get the following: 1 The Structure of the World How can I get the number and the text in one (centered) line? There must be a default that only effect chapters, since section do not show this behavior. Thank you Matthias Vogel
