Hi, I am trying to format a chapter heading so that there is a linebreak between the number and the name. The only way I managed to do this is this: \setuphead[ chapter][command=\ChapTitle] \def\ChapTitle#1#2% {\framed[height=2cm,width=broad]{#1\\#2} } But this limits me to a fixed height for the frame. This doesn't work if I don't set a fixed height, which would be a problem with longer chapter names that need linebreaks. What is the correct way to do this? Thank you, Marc Trius.

I've just started migrating from Plain Tex to ConTeXt, so please excuse a naive response. ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Special layouts for the headings requires sometimes \vbox and \hbox but in this case you don’t need it. Wolfgang

Well, \framed[...,align=middle,...] is a \vbox. Aditya
