Twenty One versus Twenty-one
Am currently dealing with a book that has twenty-one chapters, and the author (who is visually impaired) follows a range of visually impaired principles when writing and wanting things published. That's the background to my question! MWE \setuphead[chapter][ header=empty, alternative=middle, style={\ssd}, number=yes, conversion=Word, command=\MyChapterCommand, after={\blank[1cm]}, ] Problem is, when we get to chapter Twenty-one (which is the correct way to write it in English) it gives me 'Twenty One'. Is there a way, in my setup, that I can force it to give me 'Twenty-one'? (note the hyphen and the lower case for 'one'). I don't think MyChapterCommand is relevant here, but just in case, this is it: \define[2]\MyChapterCommand% {\framed[frame=on,bottomframe=on,leftframe=off,rightframe=off,topframe=off,align=middle] {\vbox{\headtext{chapter} #1\blank#2}}} Julian

{\vbox{\headtext{chapter} #1\blank#2}}} I'll add this:
\def\verbosenumberconnector{--} so you can define your own connectors. This is not interfaced via setuphead or setuplangauge or because the converter is not configured that way (maybe some day but I need to discuss it with Wolfgang because then we want to solve that for all commands and make the right choice for keys and so). Up to you to wikify it.

I appreciate the response. However, you are light years ahead of me in understanding ConTeXt, so I don't quite know what to do with the info you have given me! I have difficulty understanding your comment 'This is not interfaced via setuphead *or* setuplangauge *or* because the converter is not configured that way'. The 'or' throws me out, I'm afraid. Were you going to suggest somewhere else? I assumed that I would need to add \def\verbosenumberconnector{--} as a definition in the preamble (and have), but where do I call it in? Not in \setuphead[chapter] that is for sure, but I need to call on it somewhere. Where? Julian On 11/2/21 6:44 pm, Hans Hagen wrote:

\def\verbosenumberconnector{-} \setuphead [chapter] [conversion=Word] \starttext \dorecurse{25}{\chapter{or number #1}} \stoptext But you need to wait for the update, Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, that's clear, and what is also clear is that I cannot achieve this with my current version of Mk IV (nearly a year old now). The entire work is complete but for this small item, so I might need to do some 'fiddling' outside ConTeXt to achieve a result that the publisher wants in his hands tomorrow... Unless I can delay him. I will try! Many thanks, Julian On 11/2/21 8:03 pm, Hans Hagen wrote:
