Coloured section headings

Coloured section headings

[Christopher G D Tipper]

Hi all,

I want to typeset section headings in color. At the moment I have something like

\definehead
  [esection]
  [section]

\setuphead [esection]
  [number=no,
   textstyle=bold,
   style=\ss]
   command=\color[blue]{#1}]

and then later on

\esection[thing]{This is section thing}

but it complains
! You can't use `macro parameter character #' in horizontal mode.

I'm very confused by the use of 'command' in the language reference.

Many thanks for any help,
Christopher

This should be 

  \def\MyColor#1{\color[blue]{#1}} 

and 

  command=\MyColor

but, the real way to do it is (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!):

  color=blue

or: 

 textcolor=blue,numbercolor=red 

which saves you some typing -) Don't forget to enable colors with 

  \setupcolors[state=start]
