Hello ConTeXt gurus, as a newbie I checked the example from "ConTeXt an excursion" page 11 ("Hasselt makes headlines"). The manual says: use "textstyle=cap" to format a chapter's head in capitals. Short story: the manual lies ;-) The sample does not work (at least in Mk II) Longer story: Sample works, when using ConTeXt Mk IV Even longer story: Being curious, I wanted to learn how the page 11 in the manual actually was typeset. I downloaded all the available sources from the pragma web-site. and found out: the source code does not even use "textstyle=cap". Instead it uses "textstyle=bold". Manual and available source apparently do not match. Nothing to learn here... Ok, now for my questions: 1) Is it a Mk IV feature not working in Mk II ? 2) Is it a bug? 3) Is there a way, I can tell (1) and (2) apart? Best Regards, Michael Ewe, Germany

The internals have changed and as a result 'textstyle=cap' does no longer work but you can get the same result with: %\setuphead[section][textstyle=\tfb,deeptextcommand=\cap] \setuphead[section][deeptextcommand=\WORD] \starttext \section{Am I capped?} \stoptext Wolfgang
Thank you very much, that works well! But: how can I find out? Its not in the manual, its not in the manual's source. The wiki page about chapter headers says "textstyle=cap" and mentions "\textcommand" and "\deeptextcommand" Feeling kind of lost here ! Best Regards Michael Ewe, Germany

1. It helps to know the source and where certain keys are performed. 2. Lots of trial and error, play with the different keys and look which combination and setup works. Wolfgang

changed related to cap also relate closely to open type features and thing previously not possible; in general, moving from mkii to mkiv also involves some changes in thinking Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
