This minimal file [case 1]:

\setuphead[chapter][numbercommand={\gobbleoneargument}, ]
or [case 3]:
\setuphead[chapter][numbercommand={\gobbleoneargument}]
then it's fine. Is this a bug or a feature of TeX's tricky spacing rules? And how can I think about ConTeXt's parsing in way that the difference between cases 1 and 2,3 is obvious?
A newline is treated in general as a space, so you have unwanted space in case 1. case 2 shows just a ConTeXt feature: space after a "," in an option list is gobbled. case 3 is the normal way to write \setup-commands If you really want a newline as in case 1, then consider case 4: \setuphead[chapter][numbercommand={\gobbleoneargument}% ] Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
