I am trying to set up chapter heads a certain way and my code keeps getting uglier. Here are the specs:
1. Chapter number centered, with decorations on either side. 2. Chapter title centered below chapter number. 3. Additional decoration centered below chapter title. 4. Both number and text show up in TOC in normal Context manner.
Can this be done easily using the normal chapter macro or should I do it all from scratch? (If I roll my own I worry about getting info to the TOC.)
I am doing something like that now. Sorry the example isn't very pretty, had to rip out parts that were specific to the font I'm using, but should give you an idea of what you need to do.

Your example was very helpful. Using it, and with some more RTFM, I came up with this configuration:
\setuphead[chapter][numbercommand=\numcommand,page=right, header=none,textcommand=\texcommand,align=right]
\def\numcommand#1{\hfil\webo m\hfil\tfd#1\hfil\webo m\hfil\break}
\def\texcommand#1{\hfil #1 \hfil\crlf\deco}
My problem remains with the horizontal alignment of the chapter text. I have tried left, right, normal, broad. All I want to do is center it, per my specification 2 above.
Webo is the webomints dingbat font.
Maybe this can help you ?
\def\Command#1#2{\ruledvbox{\hbox to \textwidth{\hfill #1 \hfill}\\% \hbox to \textwidth{\hfill #2 \hfill}\\% \hbox to \textwidth{\hfill deco! \hfill}}}
\def\NCommand#1{\framed{#1}}% Insert here other stuff for decorate number
\def\TCommand#1{\framed{#1}}% Insert here other stuff for decorate text
\setuphead[chapter][command=\Command,numbercommand=\NCommand,textcommand=\T Command]
Warning: \completecontent has a bizzarre look.

Some interesting approaches here, for sure. I am hanging on to these posts. I chickened out and did a plain TeX macro. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \def\Chap#1 #2.{\page[yes] \ifodd\count0\else\noheaderandfooterlines\page[yes]\fi \noheaderandfooterlines \line{\hfil\webo m\hfil\lower 4.5pt\hbox{\it\tfd#1}\hfil\webo m\hfil}\blank[big] \line{\tfc\hfil#2\hfil} \blank[big] \writetolist[chapter]{\tf #1}{\tf #2} \deco } \def\deco{\blank\noindent\hfil\webo 4\hfil\break\blank \rm} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% But when time permits I will play with the other approaches mentioned. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf
