Re: [NTG-context] space sectioning control

25 Jun 2018

      You have to change the value of textdistance.

\setuphead
   [subsubsection]
   [alternative=text,
    distance=0pt,
    textdistance=.5em]

\starttext

\startchapter[title={First}]

\startsubsubsection
\input ward
\stopsubsubsection

\stopchapter

\stoptext

Dear gang,
Here's an interesting one, attached and below:
=======
\setuphead[chapter]   [alternative=normal]
\setuphead[subsection][alternative=text]
\setuphead[subsection][criterium=local,distance=0em,sectionstopper=.]
\starttext
\startchapter[title={First},reference={}]
\startsubsection%[title={First}]
\input ward
\stopsubsection
\startsubsection%[title={Second}]
\input ward
\stopsubsection
\stopchapter
\startchapter[title={Second},reference={}]
\startsubsection%[title={}]
\input ward
\stopsubsection
\startsubsection%[title={}]
\input ward
\stopsubsection
\stopchapter
\stoptext
=======
Our subsections do not have titles. The space between the subsection 
numeral and the text is too large, even with
distance=0em
Negative distances don't behave well - toggle lines 4 and 5.
What can we do to control the space between numeral and text? Thank 
you in advance.
Best wishes
Idris

To number paragraphs you can create a counter with \definelabel.
\definelabel[Paragraph][text=,numberstopper={.},headcommand=\groupedcommand{}{ }]
\starttext
\startchapter[title={First},reference={}]
\Paragraph\input ward
\Paragraph\input ward
\stopchapter
\startchapter[title={Second},reference={}]
\Paragraph\input ward
\Paragraph\input ward
\stopchapter
\stoptext

Yes - and tested some paragraph options yesterday. Many thanks for the 
sample below.
But this particular project is very large with countless 
cross-references already in place that depend on the subsectioning 
mechanism. Is there a workaround that will avoid major surgery to the 
main text?
Also, subsubsections and subsubsubsections are still needed, as well 
as resetting the counters after each chapter etc..
In other words, what's needed is all the features of subsection 
without the titling. Just as
\start|stoptitle \start|stopsubject [etc.]
give titling without sectioning numerals, we need something like
\start|stoplabeling \start|stopsublabeling
to get sectioning numerals without titling.
(This is usually not a big deal except in cases like [alternative=text])
(And on a very tight deadline so there is little (‍= no) time to 
rebuild structure from scratch. Better to configure subsection to do 
what's needed, and perhaps use a different method for the next big 
project.)
So is there a way this can be done? Many thanks for your insights and 
help.
Idris
