I would like to have a right-aligned quote before the chapter header. I use the following snippet in my environment file: ================================== \newcommand{\chquote}[1]{\startalignment% \startnarrower[4*left] {#1} \stopnarrower\stopalignment} ================================== But if I use that *before* the \chapter command it is *followed* and not *preceded* by a page break. So my question is: how do I program this in ConTeXt? Thanks, G

Not a ConTeXt expert myself I can only give a hint how I would try it. You can define your own chapter, in the definition there are parameters for before and after. Perhaps it is possible to give the chapter an additional argument. Or you can define, that chapters do not do a pagebreak and handle the pagebreak in your function. HTH, __Janko

Those are of course all fine generic strategies which had come to my mind. My question is more of a technical nature. After reading the docs on these commands I do not how. I can make it more difficult even. I would like a chapter to start on an odd (right side) page but when there is a quote that comes with the chapter I want to have that appear on the opposing side. G

Perhaps my two book styles in the wiki are a help: http://contextgarden.net/Ubuch_style http://contextgarden.net/Uno_style The first is rather old(fashioned), but it shows how to use an own command for a chapter (i.e. a part in this case).
