Chapter number conversion to words

Chapter number conversion to words

[Bart C. Wise]

I would like to display chapter headings spelling out the numbers into words.  
For example:

Chapter One
Chapter Two
Chapter Three
etc.

I thought that I could put a conversion in the setuphead function; however, it 
doesn't appear to be supported.  So how to I do the conversion?

Thanks,
Bart

By using \setupsection, like this:

   \def\englishnumbers#1%
      {\ifcase#1 \or One\or Two\or Three\or Four\or Five\fi}
   \defineconversion[englishnumbers][\englishnumbers]

   \setupsection[chapter][conversion=englishnumbers]

Best wishes,
Taco
