This example from the wiki does not run anymore with LMTX:
You get the error message:
I've run across a '}' that doesn't seem to match anything. For example,
'\def\a#1{...}' and '\a}' would produce this error. The '\par' that I've just
inserted will cause me to report a runaway argument that might be the root of the
problem.
Maybe some expansion thing. Don't know, but consider this :
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\setuppapersize[A6][A6]
\setupbodyfont[8pt]
\define[2]\MyChapterCommand{#1 #2} % does work
%\def\MyChapterCommand#1#2{#1 #2} % does not work
\setuphead[chapter][
command=\MyChapterCommand,
]
\starttext
\startchapter{test}
\input tufte
\stopchapter
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
So, this here should get you started:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\showframe
\setuppapersize[A6][A6]
\setupbodyfont[8pt]
\define[2]\MyChapterCommand%
{\vbox to 15mm\bgroup
\vss
{#1\blank #2}
\egroup}
\define[1]\MyTitleCommand%
{\vbox to 15mm\bgroup
\vss
{#1}
\egroup}
\setuphead[chapter][command=\MyChapterCommand]
\setuphead[title][command=\MyTitleCommand]
\starttext
\chapter{test} \input tufte
\title{test} \input tufte
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
I bet there are easier solutions, maybe use framed instead of vbox.
