Hi, I've always liked the style of old textbooks, where important terms were emphasized not by bold or italic, but extra spacing between letters. How to achieve this in ConTeXt? See the manual and search for '\streched'. But you should know what you are doing. Letter spacing should only be

Hi again, there is also \stretchednormalcase{}, \stretcheduppercase{} and \stretchedlowercase{}. You can change the default stretch with \def\stretchedspacefactor{4} and \def\stretchedspaceamount{.25em} (these are the defaults). See

Hi, all-- I would like to use different styles for left and right headers in a book: I would like to set the left side (which shows the book title) in small caps, and the right side (chapter title) in italics. \setupheader[style=\sc] works fine. So does \setupheader[style=\it] But

Hello Matt, \setupheader[leftstyle=\sc,rightstyle=\it] I think the reference is wrong here, I couldn't find 'leftstyle' and 'rightstyle' in the source. And \setupheader is AFAIU for the section title. You can use \setupheadertexts. See the example:
