Here's an interesting one, attached and below:

======= \setuphead[chapter] [alternative=normal] \setuphead[subsection][alternative=text] \setuphead[subsection][criterium=local,distance=0em,sectionstopper=.]

\starttext

\startchapter[title={First},reference={}] \startsubsection%[title={First}] \input ward \stopsubsection \startsubsection%[title={Second}] \input ward \stopsubsection \stopchapter

\startchapter[title={Second},reference={}] \startsubsection%[title={}] \input ward \stopsubsection \startsubsection%[title={}] \input ward \stopsubsection \stopchapter \stoptext =======

Our subsections do not have titles. The space between the subsection numeral and the text is too large, even with

distance=0em

Negative distances don't behave well - toggle lines 4 and 5.

What can we do to control the space between numeral and text? Thank you in advance.

Yes - and tested some paragraph options yesterday. Many thanks for the sample below.

But this particular project is very large with countless cross-references already in place that depend on the subsectioning mechanism. Is there a workaround that will avoid major surgery to the main text?

Also, subsubsections and subsubsubsections are still needed, as well as resetting the counters after each chapter etc..

In other words, what's needed is all the features of subsection without the titling. Just as

\start|stoptitle \start|stopsubject [etc.]

give titling without sectioning numerals, we need something like

\start|stoplabeling \start|stopsublabeling

to get sectioning numerals without titling.

(This is usually not a big deal except in cases like [alternative=text])

(And on a very tight deadline so there is little (‍= no) time to rebuild structure from scratch. Better to configure subsection to do what's needed, and perhaps use a different method for the next big project.)

So is there a way this can be done? Many thanks for your insights and help.

Hello, there was no key "textdistance" described on wiki, so I added the option into key-value list: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuphead Lukas On Mon, 25 Jun 2018 15:20:43 +0200, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:
