Using newly defined sections
Hi, I'm a ConTeXt newbie. I've read the read the chapter of the manual on sectioning. I understand that it is possible to create a new type of section using \definesection and setup section but how do I insert an instance of my new section into my documents? With predefined sections I can use commands such as \section, \chapter, etc.. The reason I want to define and use a new section is so that I may use it as a substitute for LaTeX's \author. I'm publishing an academic journal for which I need to be able to include author's' names in the header and in the TOC. Defining a new section seemed to be the obvious solution, but I don't know how to put it into practice. If create a new section how do I put it to use in my documents? Any suggestions? Elliot

You do exactly the same thing with your new section types: \definesection[Abschnitt][section] \Abschnitt{whatever the title is supposed to be} http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles contains some examples; also see http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20030115.202301.b3898ec2.en.html and note that you can define a command for both the actual title and the toc entry formatting, so you can get the authors' names to there, too.
