Suppressing printing of chapter head.

Suppressing printing of chapter head.

[John R. Culleton]

I have a specification for a chapter head that is so complex I have little 
hope of modifying the Context head within any reasonable time frame. But I 
still prefer to use the Context chapter head for TOC, numbering of figures 
and the like. So I decided to hand code the head but still use \chapter  for 
these other purposes.  Here is my current workaround:
------------------------------------------------------------------
\setuphead[chapter][command=\white,header=nomarking]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I still have to use \noheaderandfooterlines as well for some reason. 
Just FYI.

Hi John,

can you make a image how your head should look.

To avoid headers and footer on chapter pages or to create special ones
for these pages you can use (taken from page-txt).

\definetext[chapter][footer][pagenumber]
\setuphead[chapter][header=high,footer=chapter]

Maybe command=\gobbleoneargument instead of white. With \white, the 
head will still occupy space.

That works as far as the bolding is concerned. Many thanks. But the 
"Figure 2-1"
and the 
"Comparison of Corporate and Government
Bond Portfolios"
are still in run-in style like this:

Figure 2.1 Comparison of Corporate and Government
Bond Portfolios

I can maybe talk the customer out of that detail but if I can do it it would 
be nice. 

Another solution to bolding was proposed by Mojca but I decided to go with 
yours. Thanks to both. 

For those who were curious about the complexity of the heading I will post a pdf to 
http://wexfordpress.com/tex/headertest.pdf
..and a source file fragment here:
-----------------------------------
\noheaderandfooterlines
\tf
\chapter{Investing for Income}
\noheaderandfooterlines 
\null\vskip -1in 
\noindent {\baselineskip
15bp \nimbul\kern -3pt {\zb{``It's a funny thing about life; if
you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get
it.''}}{\nimbus ~~---\kern 5bp \zb{Somerset Maugham}}

\centerline{\vrule height .25bp width 4.25in} \vskip 3.050in
\switchtobodyfont[MySabon,12bp] 
\rm 
{\it Chapter 2} \vskip .4in
\baselineskip 30bp 
\leftline{\nimbux{\zc{Investing for Income,}}}
\leftline{\nimbux{\zc{Safely and Effectively}}} \parindent
.3125in \baselineskip 15bp \indenting[next] 
\vskip 15pt 
\rm 
----------------------------
This is quite ugly but it works. \nimbux etc. are fonts and \zc etc. are
macros using soul.sty.

don't what the problem is in your document, it worked in my small test
file. The problem is there is no option to allow linebreaks between the
floatnumber and the the floatcaption. A simple way is to write \crlf in
front of every caption text or to make a copy of the macro for your
document and put this in the core macro.

Did not work. I tried to write something frome your example bellow but
I don't how the result should look in the end. Please take a look in my
attached file and try to make something with this.

I am having difficulty sending email to the list. The correct file name is
http://wexfordpress.com/tex/headtest.pdf

Sorry about that.
