Hi Julian, Indeed you can acchieve what you want, but it is better to define a command which takes care of the number and the title of the chapter at the same time (as in \ myChapterCommand below). %% begin example.tex \definefiller[ChapterRule] [alternative=rule, color=gray, height=0.8ex, depth=-0.6ex] \definefiller[ChapterLeftRule] [ChapterRule] [left=\zerowidthnobreakspace, right=\quad] \definefiller[ChapterRightRule] [ChapterRule] [left=\quad, right=\zerowidthnobreakspace] \define[2]\myChapterCommand{% \midaligned{{\filler[ChapterLeftRule]}#1.~#2{\filler[ChapterRightRule]}} } \setuphead[chapter] [textstyle={\setcharactercasing[WORD]\ssa}, command=\myChapterCommand] \starttext \startchapter[title={My Chapter Title}] \input knuth.tex \stopchapter \stoptext %% end example.tex Best regards: Otared K.

Have achieved a Chapter title with rules either side (see below - not an original invention!) but I want the chapter number to be part of 'My Chapter Title'; instead, the following MWE means it comes before the ChapterLeftRule. I know I can do it by actually putting the number before My Chapter title (e.g. 1 My Chapter Title), since the proper numbered version still appears in the TOC, but my preference would be to include a command in the \setuphead, if possible (so long as it still allows the numbered chapter to appear in the TOC of course). Possible?

\definefiller [ChapterRule] [alternative=rule, color=gray, height=0.8ex, depth=-0.6ex]

\definefiller [ChapterLeftRule] [ChapterRule] [left=\zerowidthnobreakspace, right=\quad]

\definefiller [ChapterRightRule] [ChapterRule] [left=\quad, right=\zerowidthnobreakspace]

\setuphead [chapter] [%align=middle, textstyle={\setcharactercasing[WORD]\ssa}, textcommand=\groupedcommand{\filler[ChapterLeftRule]}{\filler[ChapterRightRule]}]

\starttext

\chapter{My Chapter Title}

\stoptext
