Hi, I have a set of specifications for a document and I am having some problems implementing it. I am using MKIV from TeX Live 2010. I have some difficulty with these requirements in particular: 1) title: 17pt, boldface, capital letters; 12pt spacing before and 3pt spacing after the title; Now I use \setuphead[title][align=middle,style={\bfd\cap},before={},after={}] How can I ensure that the font size is exactly 17pt? How to I specify precise vertical spacing? 3) All § must be indented 1.25cm; \setupindenting[1.25cm,yes,first] But the first § of each Section is not indented. 4) footnote symbol: * I use \setupnote[footnote][numberconversion=set 3] but I get stars instead of asterisks. Can you please help me with these? Nicola

\definefont[TitleStyle][SerifBold at 17pt] \setuphead [title] [style=TitleStyle, textstyle=WORD, before={\blank[12pt]}, after={\blank[3pt]}, align=middle]
3) All § must be indented 1.25cm;
\setupindenting[1.25cm,yes,first]
But the first § of each Section is not indented.
\setuphead [section] [indentnext=yes]
4) footnote symbol: *
I use
\setupnote[footnote][numberconversion=set 3]
but I get stars instead of asterisks.
How about „set 1“ or „set 2“? If none of them fits you can create your own conversionset with \defineconversion[nicola][*,**,***,****,*****,...] \setupnote[footnote][numberconversion=nicola] Wolfgang

\definefont[TitleStyle][SerifBold at 17pt]
Oh, I see... I should have read co-fonts.pdf more carefully!
textstyle=WORD,
That's new to me.
before={\blank[12pt]}, after={\blank[3pt]},
Too easy :) Somehow, I had come to believe that only predefined values could be used (medium, big, ...)
But the first § of each Section is not indented.
\setuphead [section] [indentnext=yes]
That's also pretty obvious now that I see it.
4) footnote symbol: *
I use
\setupnote[footnote][numberconversion=set 3]
but I get stars instead of asterisks.

Yes, this is what I need. I must confess that I have learned more from your examples than after a whole afternoon browsing through the various docs :) Thanks, Nicola

Just a hint, use mixed case or uppercase names for the styles to prevent redefinitions of predefined commands.
textstyle=WORD,
That's new to me.
With the style everything in the title is printed uppercase, you can use it in the running text with \WORD{all my letters are uppercase}. Wolfgang
