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
you can try deepcommand=\stretched but as this macro does parsing and lots of things can happen in titles there are no guarantees Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
