Dear All,

after two hours of investigating wiki and various commands I am giving up...

Is there any way to set a bit of white space before my chapter title?

(1) I've thought that before={\blank[20mm]} should do the job. It works for sections, but here I suspect it is ignored as my chapter start on a new page.

(2) numbercommand=\groupedcommand{\blank[20mm]}{\blank[4mm]} - this works as expected, but only for numbered titles - I need it also for TOC and Preface.

(3) commandbefore={\blank[20mm]} - it inserts the space between the number and title

I have no idea what else to try...

\setuphead[chapter][ alternative=middle, %before={\blank[20mm]}, %commandbefore={\blank[20mm]}, numbercommand=\groupedcommand{\blank[20mm]}{\blank[4mm]}, %numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{\blank[4mm]}, ]

\starttext \startfrontmatter \chapter{Intro}text \startfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{Chapter}text \stopbodymatter \stoptext

Any help is highly appreciated.

before={\blank[force,20mm]}, whitespace at the top of a page is discarded otherwise ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
