I am new to ConTeXt. I am trying to define a customized head for chapters
but I am finding some problems. The sentences below are based on the chapter
Text Elements which may be found in the ConTeXt manual.
Prior to setting up the title, a new Head command is defined
by \def\HeadTitle#1#2%. It takes two arguments, the chapter number and the
chapter title. The Head so defined will show the word "C h a p t e r" in
capitals, then the chapter number at 80pt, then a horizontal line, and
finally the title.
The definition works quite well except that both, the chapter number and the
chapter title, are not show at the specified font size.
\definebodyfont[10pt,11pt,12pt][rm][tff=Regular at 80pt]
\definebodyfont[10pt,11pt,12pt][rm][tfe=Regular at 42pt]
\def\HeadTitle#1#2%
{\hbox to \hsize \bgroup
{\hfill %
\setupframed[height=7cm,offset=.5em,frame=off]
\framed[width=9cm,align=left]
{
{\tfc \sc {C~h~a~p~t~e~r}} ~~ {\tff #1}\\
\hairline
{\ss \tfe #2}
}
}
\egroup
}
\starttext
\setuphead[chapter] [command=\HeadTitle]
\chapter{An Insight\\Into Fred's Design}
\stoptext
An easy workaround for the chapter number replaces the argument #1 by
\currentheadnumber
\def\HeadTitle#1#2%
{\hbox to \hsize \bgroup
{\hfill %
\setupframed[height=7cm,offset=.5em,frame=off]
\framed[width=9cm,align=left]
{
{\tfc \sc {C~h~a~p~t~e~r}} ~~ {\tff #1}\\
\hairline
{\ss \tfe #2}
}
}
\egroup
}
Now the chapter number is shown at 80pt as defined. But I have not found the
way to solve the problem with the head title, #2. ¿Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Alfredo.
