I, apparently, do not understand the syntax and/or uses of /def. I am trying to make section heads appear in all caps and underlined. I originally tried to just use \setuphead, but found that I using the "textcommand" option I could only either capitalize or underline and not both. I then figured that using a macro was my next best option. Below is what I tried and it does not work. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? \def\mysectionhead{\WORD\underbar} \setuphead[section] [number=no, textcommand=\mysectionhead, style={\tfa\bf}] Thanks, Mike

Both commands take parameter and in your example you pass \underbar as argument to \WORD. Two solution are possible for your problem. 1. You define a command with one argument and use both commands nested, it is important to use deeptextcommand for the \WORD style. \define[1]\mysectionhead{\underbar{\WORD{#1}}} \setuphead [section] [number=no, deeptextcommand=\mysectionhead, style={\tfa\bf}] 2. You ca use both text commands and pass one with textcommand and another one with deeptextcommand. \setuphead [section] [number=no, textcommand=\underbar, deeptextcommand=\WORD, style={\tfa\bf}] Wolfgang
Ah, I think I see. So "\define[1]\mysectionhead{\bfa
\WORD{\underbar{#1}}}" would also be valid. Is \define a context
equivalent to the \def command for tex? I couldn't find much
documentation on it.

\setuphead [section] [number=no, deeptextcommand=\mysectionhead, style={\tfa\bf}]

\setuphead [section] [number=no, textcommand=\underbar, deeptextcommand=\WORD, style={\tfa\bf}]

\define is ConTeXt's equivalent to \newcommand in LaTeX, you can set with the optional parameter the number of arguments. It makes a check if the command you create is already defined and writes a message to the terminal. Usage: \define\commanda {First Command} \define[1]\commandb{Second command: #1} \define[2]\commandc{Third command: #1 #2} \starttext \commanda \commandb{text} \commandc{text}{text} \stoptext Wolfgang

See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles#Formatting_Titles_with_.5Csetuphead and try to use deeptextcommand instead. Aditya
Yes, I think I may have an older version of context here at work. I
was able to use the deeptextcommand at home, but here at work it
wasn't working. It doesn't seem to be recognized. Was it a later
implementation perhaps that an older version wouldn't have?
