Follows is some code that executes. The lines immediately following \starttext create a sample of the desired output format. However, I want to accomplish similar results for chapter titles via the passing of arguments containing the chapter title and number. Numerous attempts at that have resulted in abject failure. I am clearly missing something. \def\MyChapterCommand#1#2 {\switchtobodyfont[ss,30pt] \hbox to \hsize {\stretched{Chapter\\One}} \blank[small] \switchtobodyfont[sansbold,20pt] \hbox to \hsize {\stretched{It\\Was\\The\\Best\\Of\\Times}}} \setuphead[chapter] [command=\MyChapterCommand, header=empty,footer=chapter,page=mychapterpagebreak, after={\blank[0.5in]},before={\blank[force,1.0in]}] \starttext \switchtobodyfont[sans,30pt] \hbox to \hsize {\stretched{Chapter\\One}} \blank[small] \switchtobodyfont[sansbold,20pt] \hbox to \hsize {\stretched{It\\Was\\The\\Best\\Of\\Times}} \chapter{It\\Was\\The\\Best\\Of\\Times} \input knuth \stoptext Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax blog: www.TomBenjey.com
