I am trying to change the spacing of a chapter title head. I found the
"\kern" command; however, I could not get that to work over a string of text.
Then I found the following code:
\def\dolist{\afterassignment\dodolist\let\next= }
\def\dodolist{\ifx\next\endlist \let\next\relax
\else \\\let\next\dolist \fi
\next}
\def\endlist{\endlist}
\def\track#1\by#2{\def\\{\next\kern#2}%
\leavevmode \hbox{\expandafter\dolist#1\endlist}}
Then I tried:
def\MyChapterCommand#1#2{
\framed[align=center,frame=off,width=\textwidth]{
\vbox{
\track{This is a Test} \by{.2em}
\track #2 \by{.2em}
}
}
\setuphead[chapter][
command=\MyChapterCommand
}
The output from the \track{This is a Test} \by{.2em} works. However, the
second track command (\track #2 \by{0.2em}) fails.
I spent many hours last night trying to change the kerning. What I want is
something like: \kern{TEXT}{KERNING AMOUNT}.
What's available, or how do I fix the track command above. By the way,I'm
running mkii.
Thanks,
Bart

Okay, it works until I place an an argument in the stretched command.
def\MyChapterCommand#1#2{
\framed[align=center,frame=off,width=\textwidth]{
\vbox{
fails--> \stretched{#2}
works--> \stretched{This is a Test}
}
}
\setuphead[chapter][
command=\MyChapterCommand
}
I get the following error when I run texexec:
! Missing \endcsname inserted.
<to be read again>
\let
\nextprocessedtoken ...oup \ifincolor \ifcsname #1
#3\endcsname \let
\dostopa...
\dodoprocesstokens ...token \let \before \between
\fi \let \nextprocessedtok...
<argument> This is a test: \dostartattributes
{\??ko \v!title }\c!style
\c!c...
\processtokens ...fore \before \doprocesstokens #5
\lastcharacter \endgroup
\stretched ... \relax \hss \relax {\hss \hss }{#1}
\egroup
...
How can I use the #1 & #2 arguments in the stretched command?

You could use it only with \deeptextcommand, here is a old mail
with a example from Hans (you could ignore the other code).

Wolfgang, thanks so much for your help so far.
I was able to take the code and make it work correctly to stretch the chapter
title. What I want is two lines for a chapter head. For example,
Line 1: "Chapter One"
Line 2: "Title for Chap 1"
I want line 1 to be stretched. Everything I have tried does not work. I can
get the "Chapter" word to stretch, but not the whole line (and it should
probably be treated as a whole line when stretching). I was never able to get
the chapter number (now a word) to stretch.
So how do I grab the output for line 1 and then stretch it?
Here's a sample of what I have without any stretching:
\def\Myheader#1#2{%
\framedtext[width=0.60\textwidth, frame=off, align=middle]{%
\vbox{\headtext{chapter}~#1 \blank #2}}}
\def\englishnumbers#1{
\ifcase#1 \or ONE\or TWO\or THREE\or FOUR\or FIVE\fi}
\defineconversion[englishnumbers][\englishnumbers]
\setupsection[chapter][conversion=englishnumbers]
\setuphead [chapter][
command=\Myheader,
textcommand=\bfd,
]
\setupheadtext[chapter=CHAPTER] % used by \headtext
\starttext
\chapter{Title for Chap 1}
\processfile{tufte}
\stoptext
P.S. If there's a better way to do the number->word conversion, let me know.

look for the property mechanism
\startproperty[stretch]stretched\stopproperty
token processing is always tricky since the parser does not know what to
expect; properties use a pdf trick; in mkiv we have more clever stretching

Hans,
I tried the above code and it failed. I looked around on the ConTeXt site and
the web in general. It seems like a \defineproperty[stretch] needs to be
declared, but I can't find it anywhere. You'll have to excuse my ignorance,
but will you be explicit on how to use the \startproperty[stretch] stretch
\stopproperty.
Bart

hm, something is missing in the mkii file
\unprotect \definepropertyhandler \v!stretch{0} \protect
(you can also tune the 'normal effect')
consider all this a hack, since tex does not know about the right
dimensions
in mkiv there's
\start \dosetstretch{.25em} \setuptolerance[tolerant,stretch] \input
tufte \endgraf \stop
\start \dosetstretch{.5em} effe flink doorfietsen \stop
(not yet interfaced but it should work)

Search for \numprint in the list archive.
