Thanks, this is very helpful. I do have a couple of questions, though. Should I insert a section for the body of the text something like this? \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \setuphead[chapter][...] \stopsectionblockenvironment \completecontent causes two blank (except for header) to be produced before the table of contents but \placecontent doesn't. It doesn't seem to me that the extra pages should be created. Could I have done something that caused this?

This works, but my problem may be self-inflicted by my code for chapter first pages. I want different a different first page format for the introduction, contents and appendices than I have for regular chapters. I suppose that \chapter can be fed parameters other than the chapter name, but can't find them described in the manual. It isn't clear to me if \setuphead can be used for these non-standard "chapters."
you can use context's document structure environments and change the layout for the chapter pages in the front- and backmatter \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \setuphead[chapter][...] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[appendix] \setuphead[chapter][...] \stopsectionblockenvironment \starttext \startfrontmatter \chapterIntroduction} \complecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter % the content \stopbodymatter \startappendices \chapter{A appendix chapter} \stopappendices \stoptext Wolfgang ____________________________________________________________________________ _______ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ____________________________________________________________________________ _______
