Re: [NTG-context] First page of chapter
I am struggling with getting the first pages of my chapters laid out as desired. What I want on the top third of the page is a roughly 2 inch square graphic on the left with the chapter number and chapter title on the right in large print. The following chunk errors out as shown but works when hard-coded. Am I headed off in the wrong direction by trying to use columns in this way? Previously, I tried treating the chapter number and title as text with startfiguretext. It works but I can't format the chapter titles to fit properly. Any suggestions for a ConTeXt beginner?
\def\ChapterTop#1#2{ \startcolumns[n=2] \placefigure[left]{none}{\externalfigure[chief]} \column \switchtobodyfont[26pt] {\ss\bf\sl #1} \blank[large]\blank[large] {\ss\bf #2} \stopcolumns}
\setuphead[chapter] [command=\ChapterTop, header=high,footer=pagenumber,page=center]
\input c:. %chapter used to test the code
Hi! I think you search for something like this: \def\ChapterTop#1#2% bottom-aligned {\framed[width=broad,offset=overlay] {\framed[width=2in,height=2in]{GRAPHIC}\hfill \framed[align=right]{#1\blank[2*big]#2}}} \definetext[ChapterFoot][footer][pagenumber] \setuphead [chapter] [command=\ChapterTop, header=high, footer=ChapterFoot, numberstyle=\ssbid, textstyle=\ssbfd] \starttext \showframe \dorecurse{3}{\chapter{First Chapter}\dorecurse{5}{\input tufte}} \stoptext Greetings Andreas
That works. Now I have to figure out how to insert the picture in the place marked GRAPHIC, get rid of all the boxes and get the page number to print on the bottom of the first page of the chapter.
