Hi again, I’m trying to get uppercase titles with \WORD, but they aren’t broken into lines; while \WORD works in normal text. What’s the matter?

ConTeXt uses a horizontal box to place the section title which doesn't matter when you use one of the predefined layouts because they add a vertical box for the text to allow long texts.

When you use the command key to create your own layout you have to add a vertical box, otherwise all text is placed in a single line.

While you can use a custom layout to create an uppercase title the easier way is to use the style key.

\setuphead [chapter] [number=no, %style={\setcharactercasing[WORD]}] style=WORD]

\starttext

\chapter{\samplefile{weisman}}

\WORD{\samplefile{weisman}}

\stoptext

Thank you very much! I tried a \framed to no avail. And I thought I needed my own command since I also set color and font, but style={\MyDefinedFont\WORD} actually works. In my other setup I already tried a \vbox, but the problem is different, I guess. My remaining problem in this case is irregular line spacing if there are umlauts, will open a new thread. Best, Hraban

\framed needs a align setting to allow line breaks.

Use \setcharactercasing with style keys when you need multiple settings, it's faster than \WORD because no group check is needed.

Ok.

Increase the value for the baseline distance, e.g.

\defineinterlinespace[chapter][line=3.2ex]

\setuphead[chapter][interlinespace=chapter]

or

\setuphead[chapter][style={\setupinterlinespace[line=3.2ex]}]

But I need to keep the line spacing, even if accents collide. E.g. \setupbodyfont[rm,20pt] \setupinterlinespace[8mm] \setuplayout[ width=10cm, %grid=yes, % different, but bad either way ] \showgrid \definefont[TitleFont][SansBold at 24pt][8mm] \def\Blindtext{Ein Anfänger der Gitarre habe Eifer. Mönsch ärgere düch nïcht! Über Állen Wípfeln ìst Ŕüh. O Tannenbaum, wie blau sind deine Nadeln.} \starttext \Blindtext \WORD{\Blindtext} {\TitleFont\Blindtext \WORD{\Blindtext}} \stoptext In my actual use case, my usual line spacing is good for the body text, and the slightly bigger section titles should keep it; there would be no visual(!) collision of accents on uppercase characters with the previous line, but ConTeXt increases the line spacing nevertheless. If I activate the grid, I get double line height only in the section titles with umlauts – quite ugly. Can’t I force the line height? Best, Hraban

That works in my simple example, but not in my actual project (see attached image). Besides, the setting moves my chapter titles into the topspace?? HR

Add this before you set the fonts (page 156 in fonts-mkiv.pdf): \definefontfeature [default] [default] [dimensions=strut] Wolfgang
