redefining chapter (etc) appearence

redefining chapter (etc) appearence

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

Hello,

I'm just beginning with ConTeXt, and thus I tried to do a thing that in
LaTeX was very easy to do (using an appropriate package blah blah blah):
redefining the appearence of the sectioning commands. More precisely, I want
them to appear like

                       Chapter <number>

                       <chapter title>

both being centered horizontally, with appropriate spacing, "Chapter
<number>" in small caps, \tfa (I use "real" small caps, and they seem to
work properly :->), and <chapter title> written in bolf, \tfb. So I tried

\def\ChapterHead#1#2{{\tfa \cap{Chapter #1}}\crlf{\tfb \bf #2}}

(left the centering for the second step), without luck: \crlf doesn't (seem
to) work, the chapter number is too big (even with {{\tfa\cap{Chapter}}#1}),
and the chapter title is not boldfaced. So

1) how do I make the "newline" with appropriate spacing? I did it in a
second experiment by \hboxing the contents; is there some other way?

2) how do I get a properly dimensioned chapter number?

3) how do I get the proper font to the chapter title?

4) (since we're at it) how do I center it all?

\def\ChapterHead#1#2{\vbox{#1\vskip12pt#1}} % you may add: \raggedcenter

\setuphead
  [chapter]
  [command=\ChapterHead,
   allign=middle,
   numberstyle=\bfa,
   textstyle=\tfa]

\setuplabeltext[en][chapter=Chapter ] % given that your main language is en 

So, fonts are passed automatically, and you should use a \vbox.
