This example from the wiki does not run anymore with LMTX:

Still worked ok in: ConTeXt ver: 2022.04.19 19:53 LMTX

You get the error message: I've run across a '}' that doesn't seem to match anything. For example, '\def\a#1{...}' and '\a}' would produce this error. The '\par' that I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway argument that might be the root of the problem.

Maybe some expansion thing. Don't know, but consider this :

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \setupbodyfont[8pt] \define[2]\MyChapterCommand{#1 #2} % does work %\def\MyChapterCommand#1#2{#1 #2} % does not work \setuphead[chapter][ command=\MyChapterCommand, ] \starttext \startchapter{test} \input tufte \stopchapter \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

So, this here should get you started:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\showframe \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \setupbodyfont[8pt] \define[2]\MyChapterCommand% {\vbox to 15mm\bgroup \vss {#1\blank #2} \egroup} \define[1]\MyTitleCommand% {\vbox to 15mm\bgroup \vss {#1} \egroup}

\setuphead[chapter][command=\MyChapterCommand] \setuphead[title][command=\MyTitleCommand] \starttext \chapter{test} \input tufte \title{test} \input tufte \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I bet there are easier solutions, maybe use framed instead of vbox.
