Chapter-subtitle and a short version of a( long) chapter title to fit in the header
Dear all, Presently I’m restyling a PhD-dissertation to make it conform to the requirements of an external publisher. One of the items is the form of the chapter-heads. What would be needed on the first page of a chapter, Chapter 1 for instance, is: - Chapter 1 (midaligned, boldface, smallish size (\tfa)) - some vertical space - Chapter title (midaligned, SmallCaps, slanted, \tfc) - some vertical space - (for some chapters) Chapter subtitle, (midaligned, SmallCaps, slanted, \tfb or smaller) Furthermore I would need a header with the chapter-title on the even-numbered pages and the section-title on the odd-numbered pages. The problem here is that some of the chapter titles are too long for this and they overlap the pagenumbers in the header. That is why I would need a shorter form of the chapter title and in some cases a main title and a subtitle. As far as I know, in the command to start a chapter there is no possibility to introduce, in addition to the special version of the title for the ToC, another special, shorter, version of the title for the header. nor a subtitle. I use: \startchapter[bookmark=,list={Accompaniment in the 16th and 17th century and the development of BC},marking=,reference=ch:HistDevel,title={Accompaniment in the sixteenth and seventeenth century and the development of basso continuo}]%[a=a,b=b] For the headertexts I use what I found on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Headers_and_Footers and it works quite well: %%%%%%%%%%% \setupheadertexts[] \setupheadertexts[\setups{text a}][][][\setups{text b}] \startsetups[text a] \rlap{\sc \getmarking[section]} \hfill \llap{\pagenumber} \stopsetups \startsetups[text b] \rlap{\pagenumber} \hfill \llap{\sc \getmarking[chapter]} \stopsetups %%%%%%%%%%% So my main problem is that I need, in the command \startchapter, a third form for the chapter title to fit in the header and a compatible version of the setup for the headertexts. I did try to extract that from the ConTeXt wiki but I soon got lost. Thanks in advance for any help. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

This is what the `marking` key is for. \starttext \startchapter[title={Title}, list={What goes to table of contents}, marking={What goes to header and footers}] ... \stopchapter \stoptext Aditya
