"Jeff Smith"
Hello list!
I'd like to be able to add vertical spacing before a chapter title on the first page of a chapter, and also I want to control spacing before and after section titles with something different than the \setupwhitespace value, which I want to keep for default spacing between paragraphs. How does one achieve this? I've tried using \blank with after= and before= parameters in \setuphead, but to no avail!
Thanks all for your help, as always. Jeff
Hi Jeff, the following works for me: \starttext \chapter{Knuth} \input knuth \setuphead [chapter] [before={\blank[force,2cm]}] \chapter{Knuth} \input knuth \stoptext Wolfgang
