Vertical spacing

Vertical spacing

[Jeff Smith]

Hello list!

I'd like to be able to add vertical spacing before a chapter title on
the first page of a chapter, and also I want to control spacing before
and after section titles with something different than the
\setupwhitespace value, which I want to keep for default spacing
between paragraphs. How does one achieve this? I've tried using \blank
with after= and before= parameters in \setuphead, but to no avail!

Thanks all for your help, as always.
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

the following works for me:

\starttext

\chapter{Knuth}
\input knuth

\setuphead
  [chapter]
  [before={\blank[force,2cm]}]

\chapter{Knuth}
\input knuth

\stoptext

Oh, right. This works. Two parameters with a comma; I need to remember
the cases where this is possible!

Thanks a lot!

Well, I spoke a bit fast.

I'd still like to control the vertical spacing _after_ a title with
another command than \setupwhitespace. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance!

\setuphead[section][after={\blank[big]}]

Is this the only way? The thing is, between my section title and the
text, I want vertical spacing roughly equal to my interlinespace, not
my "whitespace" (as the spacing between paragraphs with
\setupwhitespace). The former is a smaller value than the latter, and
with after= and \blank it doesn't work as long as I specify such a
smaller value. It only works when I want extra spacing, but I want
less. How does one achieve this?

Thanks in advance!
Jeff

\setuphead[section][after=\nowhitespace]

\starttext

\section{Knuth}

\input knuth

\stoptext

That works. Thank you very much! I must find a way to come to grips
with those simple commands!
