syntax

[Siep Kroonenberg <siepo@cybercomm.nl>]

A number of questions:

- Does Context provide for styles as in Word: a set of typographic
specifications (font, leading, h&j, space before and after) separate
from any sectioning hierarchy, or is it necessary to write those from
scratch as macros?

- Is the following syntax safe:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
  \some_context_macro
% comment
    [parameter]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

- I am trying to define typography for a header:

\setuphead[subject]
  [before=\blank,
   after=\blank[small],
   style={\switchtobodyfont[sans,16pt]\bf}]

This only seems to compile if I replace `after' with `\c!after', and
even then I get a full instead of half a blank line.

If I try C-style indentation:

\setuphead[subject]
  [before=\blank,
   after=\blank[small],
   style={\switchtobodyfont[sans,16pt]\bf
   }
  ]

then the style parameter seems to be ignored.
