Functionality such as the subject of this thread should be available by default, without having to mess with macros. In particular, functionality present in LaTeX for quite some time should be possible within ConTeXt rather easily, the ConTeXt way, of course.
The ConTeXt way is now: \startchapter[...] \stopchapter When you don't need the extra functionality, you can use the old \chapter command, but when you need it, the just use the new environment.
This is an unsatisfactory statement, indeed.
No one has answered my question about to what belongs any text between a proceding \stopchapter and a following \startchapter, as in \startchapter{title} \stopchapter some text \startchapter{next title} \stopchapter
There remains thus some logical/structural problem with this new scheme. (This does not mean, at all, that I dislike the \start \stop syntax.)
\starttext \input knuth %%% what about this ? \chapter{Foo} \input tufte %% ok it's "in" ch. Foo %% what about these ? \startstandardmakeup foo \page boo \page goo \page \stopstandardmakeup \chapter{Goo} \input tufte %% ok it's "in" ch. Goo \stoptext New schema > Old schema -- luigi
