Hi again. I've progressed a little. I've defined my private command the will generate the heading as I want it to come out. This command works when in stand-alone mode, for testing purposes. It nicely leaves everything after it on the grid, just like I want it. When you want to read along with what I'm doing, the code can be found here: http://www.nat.vu.nl/~sneep/msneep.tex Problem is that when I say: \setuphead[chapter][command=\MyChapCommand] some unexpected side effects occur, and an error appears (message reproduced below). When I remove the \placeongrid code, another error (undefined control sequence) comes up. And I'd really like to stay on grid... I would really appreciate it if someone could take a look at the code and suggest some improvements. Kind regards, Maarten Sneep !

I'm trying to make my own headings, and it doesn't really come out the way I want. I'll describe what I'm trying to do, and maybe someone has something that can help me.
I'd like to have the chapter number really big, in a (light) colour in the background. The title should go over the number. If possible/needed, the number may end up (partially) under the text.
