Setting a heading text on its own page with \setuphead
Hi, I'd like to define my own class of heading derived from the "part" heading; in the MWE below, it's called "MyPart". I'd like this heading to have the following features: - Its title should appear in the ToC, but its number should never be printed in the ToC or in the text. - It should always start on an odd page. - Its text should be in a larger size than the text of the body, set in all caps, and set with extra letterspacing. - Most importantly, the title of the heading should appear on its own page without a header or footer. The text of the body should begin on the next odd page. I was hoping to accomplish all of this within the \setuphead command, and it seems like this should be possible, but in the following example, I'm not getting the text of the header at all: ``` \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, location=] %undo default page numbering in middle of header; doublesided option will ensure that the document has an even number of pages %Define an odd page break between books that omits headers and footers in blank pages \definepagebreak[blankpagebreak][yes,header,footer,right] %Setup body and title fonts (is any of this redundant, or can it be consolidated?): \definefontsynonym [EBGaramond] [name:EBGaramond-Regular] [features=default] \definefontfamily[garamond] [rm] [EBGaramond] [features={default}] \setupbodyfont[garamond, 12pt] \setupinterlinespace[18pt] %text line spacing \definefont[MyPartFont][EBGaramond at 24pt][line=36pt] %font command to be used for setting MyPart heading texts %Macro for adjusting kerning of MyPart heading texts (can any of this can be handled in the \definefont call?): \define[1]\MyPartTextCommand{% \kerncharacters[0.6666]%increase letterspacing \WORDS{#1}%set all letters in uppercase } %Macro for page break after MyPart headings: \define\AfterMyPart{% \page[blankpagebreak]% } %Define a new heading at the level of a part: \definehead[MyPart][part] \setuphead[MyPart][ number=no,%do not add a number to this heading page=blankpagebreak,%always start this on an odd page header=empty,%disable headers for this page footer=empty,%disable footers for this page align={flushleft, nothyphenated},%titling alignment settings textstyle=\MyPartFont,%set text style textcommand=\MyPartTextCommand,%set text formatting command commandafter=\AfterBookTitle%add a double page break afterwards ] %Setup header and footer text: \setupheadertexts[{\structureuservariable{booktitle}}\hfill][][][\hfill {\structureuservariable{booktitle}}] %even left, even right, odd left, odd right \setupfootertexts[\pagenumber][][][\pagenumber] %even left, even right, odd left, odd right %Ensure that whitespace respects the grid layout: \setupblank[line,fixed] \starttext \startMyPart[title={Title for Title Page}][booktitle={Title for Header}] \input knuth\par \input knuth\par \input knuth\par \input knuth\par \input knuth\par \input knuth \stopMyPart \stoptext ``` I expect there's something obvious that I'm missing, but any help is appreciated. Thank you! Joey

Hi Joey, these are options for \setuphead[part] (MyPart in your case):
I'd like this heading to have the following features:
* Its title should appear in the ToC, but its number should never be printed in the ToC or in the text.
number=no.
* It should always start on an odd page.
This is the default for \setuphead[part] (only noticeable in doublesided documents).
* Its text should be in a larger size than the text of the body, set in all caps, and set with extra letterspacing.
style is the right option there.
* Most importantly, the title of the heading should appear on its own page without a header or footer. The text of the body should begin on the next odd page.
placehead=yes is required for \setuphead[part]. And also for MyPart. header=empty and footer=emtpy. For the page break before the body text, you need after=\page.
I was hoping to accomplish all of this within the \setuphead command, and it seems like this should be possible, but in the following example, I'm not getting the text of the header at all.
See above. I hope it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
Thank you so much! The piece I was missing was the "placehead=yes". Now everything works as expected! I couldn't figure out how to increase letter spacing for the "style" argument using just a \definefont macro, but I was able to do it with a macro supplied as the "textcommand" argument.

Most of the stuff was already answered by Pablo. Below is my version how to set the layout to fit the requirements. \definefontfamily [garamond] [rm] [EBGaramond] \setupbodyfont [garamond,12pt] \definefont [MyPartFont] [Serif at 24pt] [line=36pt] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, location=] \setupinterlinespace [line=18pt] \definepagebreak [blankpagebreak] [yes,header,footer,right] \definehead [MyPart] [part] \definecharacterkerning [mypartkerning] [factor=0.6666, features=letterspacing] \setuphead [MyPart] [placehead=yes, number=no, page=blankpagebreak, header=empty, footer=empty, align={flushleft,nothyphenated}, style=MyPartFont, textstyle={\setcharacterkerning[mypartkerning]\setcharactercasing[WORD]}, after={\page[blankpagebreak]}] \setupheadertexts [\structureuservariable{booktitle}] [] [] [\structureuservariable{booktitle}] \setupfootertexts [pagenumber] [] [] [pagenumber] \setupblank [line,fixed] \starttext \startMyPart [title={Title for Title Page}] [booktitle={Title for Header}] \dorecurse{6}{\input knuth\par} \stopMyPart \stoptext Wolfgang
Beautiful! This makes things even more succinct. I notice that if I try to prevent paragraph indentation after a MyPart heading with the "indentnext=no" argument, it doesn't work. Is this because of the \page[blankpagebreak] command in the "after" argument? (In any case, I can just change the "after" argument to "after=\page[blankpagebreak]\noindentation" and things work as expected, so this isn't a real problem. I'm just curious.) Thanks!
