Clearly there's a disagreement on which tables are required. Thanks, though. The negative offset is not a big problem. The only weird thing is the feature interaction I also posted about. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T. Lindsay, Computing Dept.

Great! This solution worked for me. I have added it to Sample Macros in
the Wiki.
Thanks,

Hello. I have a style request that I haven't come across before and

I need the first line of text following a chapter title to always start

Something like

[NTG-context] \godown to an absolute position
Hello. I have a style request that I haven't come across before and
don't know how to handle in ConTeXt.
I need the first line of text following a chapter title to always start
15 picas from the top edge of the text area. In other words, no matter
how little space the title takes up, the first line after it should
always start at the same vertical point.
Something like
--
\chapter{Chapter title}
\godown[to=15pc]
Start of the text of the chapter...

would be ideal, but of course \godown starts from the current point and
doesn't offer a to= option! I'm not sure that layers are the answer
because as soon as I have moved down I'm into the running text of the
chapter.
Can anyone help? Thanks very much.
