Dear All, after two hours of investigating wiki and various commands I am giving up... Is there any way to set a bit of white space before my chapter title? (1) I've thought that before={\blank[20mm]} should do the job. It works for sections, but here I suspect it is ignored as my chapter start on a new page. (2) numbercommand=\groupedcommand{\blank[20mm]}{\blank[4mm]} - this works as expected, but only for numbered titles - I need it also for TOC and Preface. (3) commandbefore={\blank[20mm]} - it inserts the space between the number and title I have no idea what else to try... \setuphead[chapter][ alternative=middle, %before={\blank[20mm]}, %commandbefore={\blank[20mm]}, numbercommand=\groupedcommand{\blank[20mm]}{\blank[4mm]}, %numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{\blank[4mm]}, ] \starttext \startfrontmatter \chapter{Intro}text \startfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{Chapter}text \stopbodymatter \stoptext Any help is highly appreciated.
