Subject: suppressing hyphenation

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been covered before, but does anyone know a ConTeXt-y
(i.e., elegant) way of suppressing hyphenation for a block of text?

I'm dealing with long chapter headings, and I would rather set them
ragged and without hyphenation.

I've made tentative experiments with the techniques described here, but
to no avail. I tried making a new language [zz] that grabs the
zerohyph.tex hyphenation file. TeX complains about seeing a \pattern
outside of initex, but it did have the effect of eliminating all
hyphenation in my document, which was a bit more than I bargained for.

Has anyone done this successfully? No? Should I continue trying the language?

Cheers,
adam
