Good afternoon! I am dealing with a book, which has a short black rule under the title of the chapters. I see, that the old rule mechanisms are no more available in LMTX and are replaced by fillers. Now with the following setup, I would expect a 50mm line placed centered. Hoewever this seems not to work in this way. What am I missing? kind regards Willi \definefiller [Titlerule] [alternative=rule, left=\hfil, right=\hfil, method=local, width=50mm, height=2pt, leftmargin=1pt, rightmargin=1pt, align=middle] \starttext \midaligned{Some text} \filler[Titlerule] \stoptext

What mechanism do you mean, fillers are just a high level interface to leaders. Wolfgang
Hoi, In earlier times we had something like \definerule[…][…] and \setuprule[…][…]. This made it possible to create lines of a define width. — So what I found is the fillers, which apparently are not meant for the purpose I am looking for. Kind regards Willi

I'm sorry but I'm unable to find any code or proper example for the command.

You can try the \blackrule command to add a custom rule after your title. Wolfgang
Thank you Wolfgang! — In the meantime i was indeed able to setup what i needed with \blackrule Kind regards Willi
