a few more questions

[Han The Thanh]

Hi all,

can you please help me with a few more questions:

1) how to format the chapter title as follows:

                    Chapter I
            <title of chapter 1 here>

2) how to change the way of numbering headings (like A, B, C,... instead of 
   1, 2, 3, ...

Thanks,
Thanh

Look at pages 181-185 of the beta ConTeXt manual. The
following lines should work:

\definesection[chapter][section=section-2]
\setupsection[section-2][conversion=Characters]

The line containing "\definesection" is probably
unnecessary and might mess things up; It's included
mainly for completeness.

Hello Han,

Tatatata!

Here I can show, that I have learned something from all the patient answers 
Hans has written for my questions:

\setuplabeltext[chapter=Chapter~]
\setuphead[chapter][alternative=middle]

>2) how to change the way of numbering headings (like A, B, C,... instead

\setupsection[section-2][bodypart][conversion=Character]

And all together in a simple sample document:

\setuplabeltext[chapter=Chapter~,appendix=Appendix~]

\setuphead[chapter]
  [alternative=middle,
   bodypartlabel=chapter,
   appendixlabel=appendix,
   numberstyle=small,
   textstyle=boldslanted]

\setupsection
  [section-2]
  [bodypart]
  [conversion=Character, % Watch the capital
  previousnumber=no]

\setupsection
  [section-2]
  [appendix]
  [conversion=character,
  previousnumber=no]

\starttext

\completecontent

\startbodymatter
\chapter{A test for Han}
\input tufte

\chapter{Now for Hofstadter}
\input hofstadter
\stopbodymatter

\startappendices
\chapter{This is just Knuth}
\input knuth
\stopappendices

\stoptext

BTW: it's all in the beta manual!

Yours
Uwe

Hi all,

many thanks for all your answers, it was very helpful indeed. I should
have spent more time on reading the manual.
