\numstr errors out in chapter star logic
\numstr seems to work fine in the body of text but errors out as if #1 was not a number when it is used in chapter start loc. Here is an example: %\numstr begins here \unprotect \def\numstring#1{\expandafter\@numstring\csname c@#1\endcsname} \def\@numstring#1{\ns@numstr{#1}\ns@nineteens{null}{}} \let\numstr\@numstring% \def\ns@numoutofrange#1#2{\number#1#2} \def\ns@numstr#1#2#3#4% {\ifnum\number#1<\plusone% #3% \else\ifnum\number#1<1000000000 % \expandafter\ns@numstring\expandafter{\number#1}#2% \else% \ns@numoutofrange{#1}{#4}% \fi\fi} \def\ns@numstring#1#2{% \expandafter\ns@@numstring% \ifcase% \ifnum#1<10 1% \else\ifnum#1<100 2% \else\ifnum#1<\@m 3% \else\ifnum#1<\@M 4% \else\ifnum#1<100000 5% \else\ifnum#1<1000000 6% \else\ifnum#1<10000000 7% \else\ifnum#1<100000000 8% \else9% \fi\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi % \or00000000#1% case 1: Add 8 leading zeros \or0000000#1% case 2: Add 7 leading zeros \or000000#1% case 3: Add 6 leading zeros \or00000#1% case 4: Add 5 leading zeros \or0000#1% case 5: Add 4 leading zeros \or000#1% case 6: Add 3 leading zeros \or00#1% case 7: Add 2 leading zeros \or0#1% case 8: Add 1 leading zero \or#1% case 9: Add no leading zeros \or% \@nil#2% \fi} \def\ns@@numstring#1#2#3#4#5#6#7\or#8\@nil#9% {\ifnum#1#2#3>\z@ \ns@million#1#2#3% \ifnum#4#5#6>\z@\space\fi% \fi% \ifnum#4#5#6>\z@% \ns@hundred#4#5#6{#1#2#3}{#4#5}\ns@nineteen% \ifnum#4#5#6>\z@\space\fi% thousand% \ifnum#7>\z@\space\fi% \fi% \ns@hundred#7{#4#5#6}1#9} \def\ns@million#1#2#3% {\ifnum#1#2#3=\plusone% \ns@hundred#1#2#301\ns@nineteene% \space% million% \else% \ns@hundred#1#2#301\ns@nineteens% \space% millions% \fi} \def\ns@hundred#1#2#3#4#5#6% {\ifnum#1>\z@% \ifnum#4#1>\z@\ns@nineteen#1\space\fi% hundred% \ifnum#2#3>\z@\space and\space\fi% \fi% \ifnum#2#3<20 % \ifnum#5#2#3>\z@#6{#2#3}\fi% \else% \ns@ninety#2\ifnum#3>\z@-\ns@nineteen#3\fi% #60% \fi} \def\ns@nineteen#1% {\ifcase#1\empty\or one\or two\or three\or four\or five\or six\or% seven\or eight\or nine\or ten\or eleven\or twelve\or thirteen\or% fourteen\or fifteen\or sixteen\or seventeen\or% eighteen\or nineteen\fi} \def\ns@nineteens#1{\ns@nineteen{#1}} \def\ns@nineteene#1{\ns@nineteen{#1}} \def\ns@ninety#1% {\ifcase#1 \or \or twenty% \or thirty% \or forty% \or fifty% \or sixty% \or seventy% \or eighty% \or ninety% \fi} \protect \def\MyChapterCommandA#1#2% #1 is number, #2 is text {\numstr{#1}} \def\MyChapterCommandB#1#2% #1 is number, #2 is text {#1 #2} \setuphead[chapter] [command=\MyChapterCommandA] %change A to B to eliminate \substr call \starttext \chapter{First Chapter} Some sample text.

That's abother way but the \numstring code is a mess (why so many unnecessary comment signs?) and it needs a proper rewrite (Lua?) before it can be used. Wolfgang

It was written in 2005. I don't remember who wrote it originally (maybe Hans or maybe it was cloned from LaTeX); I only remember doing slight modifications on someone else's code. And yes, it needs to be rewritten in Lua for MKIV. It would be really nice if a fixed version of this macro would make it into ConTeXt core. Mojca

How should i know you're using mkii! Replace \setuphead with \setupsection: \setupsection[chapter][conversion=numstring] Wolfgang Sorry for not including that I'm using mkii. This code works. How do I tell from the ConTeXt Manual and the wiki which commands apply to mkii and which apply to mkiv? Are documents prepared for mkii upwardly compatible with mkiv or do some mkii commands not work the same in mkiv? Thank you for all your help.

All older manuals are for mkii but most of the explanations and examples apply to mkiv as well, the biggest differences between mkii and mkiv are font installation, section numbering and xml handling. You can see on the Pragma ADE page labels for which version a manual is written: http://pragma-ade.com/show-man-1.htm Wolfgang
\setupsection[chapter][conversion=numstring] Wolfgang This change produces the desired results on the first page of each chapter but also has some, in my case, undesired side-effects. Chapter numbers in the table of contents are now spelled out (I prefer numerals in the TOC) and section numbers in the text begin with the words rather than the numerals (again, I prefer numerals for section numbers). The documentation probably explains how to deal with this, but I haven't been able to find it. All I want to do is make a cosmetic change to the tops of the chapter start pages.
