Forcing line-breaks in a Chapter title

Forcing line-breaks in a Chapter title

[Christopher Cardinale]

I want the words "Chapter 1" to appear on one line and the title of the
chapter to appear on the line below it. I can't seem to get this to
work. Here is my code:

\def\ChapterStyle#1#2{%
	{\tx \bf Chapter {#1}}\\%
	{\tfd {#2}}%
}

\setuphead[chapter][%
	before={\blank[0.25\textheight,force]},
	after={\blank[medium]},
	numberstyle=\bf,
	textstyle=\bf,
	command=\ChapterStyle%
]

\chapter{My Chapter}

ConTeXt seems to be ignoring the \\ and just puts it all on one line.

Can anyone advise?

in cont-new.tex add a line:

   \def\setlocalheadsetup{\setlocalkopsetup}

and then say

   \def\ChapterStyle...{\localheadsetup....}

but, better, change your \\ into \endgraf; \\ is a command that has no real 
fixed meaning, i.e. the meaning depends on the situation and is a space by 
default.

Sorry, but none of those solutions seem to work: I keep getting
"Chapter 1" and "Chapter Title" on the same line. I guess I could adopt
a different design, but I'm a little surprised at the way ConTeXt is
behaving.

Re: Forcing line-breaks in a Chapter title

This seems to work, but what I need is some way to measure the width of
some arbitrary text so that I can set the size of the \hskip.

\def\ChapterStyle#1#2{%
	{\bf Chapter {#1}}
	\vtop to 5ex{\vskip5ex \hskip-5em {#2}}%
}

\setuphead[chapter][
	before={\blank[0.25\textheight,force]},
	after={\blank[4*big]},
	textstyle=\bf,
	numberstyle=\bf,
	command=\ChapterStyle%
]

\chapter{My Article}
