Hello everyone,
I have defined a macro for the chapter layouts -- nothing fancy, but still it is giving me trouble.
Essentially, I call this macro using *command=* in *\setuphead*. My philosophy was to add
all the details in the macro, so that I don't have to call anyother keyvalue pairs in *\setuphead*.
However, the macro gives two different results when called for typesetting a chapter heading
by ConTeXt internals and explicitly by me in the document (see attached file).
I don't know why the chapter number font style is not obeyed. If I add *numberstyle=dfont* in
*\setuphead*, then the font size is increased but the frame size has spurious space at top and
bottom.
When I call the macro myself, there is a single whitespace before the chapter heading (as can be
seen in the attached file).
I have gone through the wiki as much as possible and I think that I could have easily copied
*much better* heading styles from it. But I do not want to use code that I don't fully
understand.
Any suggestions/help will be most appreciated.
\definefont [ChaperNumberStyle][Serif at 60pt]
\definecolor[ChaperNumberColor][x=d8dcd6]
\startsetups[head:devendra]
\startlinealignment[left]
\startframed
       [frame=on,
        rulethickness=3pt,
        framecolor=ChaperNumberColor,
        foregroundcolor=ChaperNumberColor,
        corner=00]
       \hspace[big]\headnumbercontent
     \stopframed
\hspace[big]
\startframed
       [width=.1\textwidth,
        strut=no,
        frame=on,
        align={flushleft,nothyphenated,verytolerant}]
       \headtextcontent
     \stopframed
\stoplinealignment
\stopsetups
\defineheadalternative[devendra][renderingsetup=head:devendra]
\setuphead
   [chapter]
   [alternative=devendra,
    numberstyle=ChaperNumberStyle,
    textstyle={\tfc\kap\kerncharacters[.5]}]
\starttext
\chapter{Introduction to thesis}
\stoptext

Thank you Wolfgang. I guess this is the proper ConTeXt way.

Presumably I will have to define a plain set up for unnumbered chapters 
like bibliographies
and call *\setuphead[chapter][alternative=plain]* for these chapters.
