Chapter One
This is the Name of the First Chapter
I assume the OP was looking for a way to convert a counter to the corresponding English word:
\defineconversion [words] [One, Two, Three, Four, Five] I forgot to add how to hook this into Hans' example:
\defineconversion [words] [One, Two, Three, Four, Five]
\setuphead [chapter] [header=high, command=\MyChapterTitle, style=\bfc, conversion=words, numberstyle=\bfb] Thanks for your quick and helpful replies Marco and Hans.
I've not quite managed to get it working yet. I also forgot to mention that I wanted it A5 2up on A4. I thought I'd got that sorted using \setuppapersize [A5][A4] \setuparranging [2UP,rotated,doublesided] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \setuplayout [margin=0pt,width=fit] \setupbodyfont [lbr,12pt] from the manual (page 55), but on closer inspection of the output seems to scramble the chapters. My test setup has four chapters. The output labels the first chapter 'Chapter 1', the second chapter 'Chapter 4', the third chapter 'Chapter 2' and the forth chapter 'Chapter 3'. Yes I did want the chapters to be numbered as words but I can't get Marco's modification to work. It would be useful if there was a build in conversion without having to write out the words as Jamie's book has 21 chapters! I've tried various permutations including \incrementcounter [mycount] \convertedcounter [mycount] in each chapter but none of the ones I tried work. (I also tried including the dorecurse, but presume that was for testing) I'm not sure if Han's example was supposed to be a stand alone or some sort of style file. I tried running ConteXt on it but it stopped half way through. I was using the the set up suggested in the manual of having a project file, and environment file, a product file and components. That may be unnecessary complication but I thought I'd just follow the instructions till I understand it better. I put your formatting suggestions into my environment file (pasted below). Thanks for the suggestion of punknova Hans, it might come in sometime but Jamie wants it to look as much like a proper book as possible. He's also telling me he wants the pages arranged as sheet one side one page4 p1 side two p2 p3 sheet two side one p8 p5 side two p6 p7 etc so that the folded A4's bind next to each other, rather than in each other as the format I'm using at the moment gives. I've pasted my environment and test component files below (I tried attaching them but then realised the attachments Hans sent me were off list) Thanks again Andrew Here's my environment file \startenvironment env2bookk \setuppapersize [A5][A4] \setuparranging [2UP,rotated,doublesided] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \setuplayout [margin=0pt,width=fit] \setupbodyfont [lbr,12pt] \setupheadertexts [][chapter] [\getvariable{document}{title}][] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, location=footer] \unexpanded\def\MyChapterTitle#1#2% {\framed [offset=overlay, frame=off, width=\textwidth, align={middle,lohi}] {#1\blank#2}} \setuphead [chapter] [header=high, command=\MyChapterTitle, style=\bfc, numberstyle=\bfb] \setuplabeltext [chapter=Chapter~] \defineconversion [words] [One, Two, Three, Four, Five] \definecounter [mycount] \setupcounter [mycount] [numberconversion=words] \setuphead [chapter] [header=high, command=\MyChapterTitle, style=\bfc, conversion=words, numberstyle=\bfb] \stopenvironment And my test component file: \startcomponent pt1 \product prds2 % but you can use it in other products anyway \project projbook \startchapter[title=First] one \dorecurse{10}{\input ward\par} \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Second] two \dorecurse{10}{\input ward\par} \stopchapter \startchapter[title=third] three \dorecurse{10}{\input ward\par} \stopchapter \startchapter[title=fourth] four \dorecurse{10}{\input ward\par} \stopchapter \stopcomponent pt1
