chapter and part titles

chapter and part titles

[Hraban]

(1)
I look for a possibility to tell ConTeXt to use a shorter version of a
chapter title for the header and for the table of contents, such like

\chapter[ref:chapter][The long chapter]{This is a very, very long
chapter}

The text in {} should form the title, where the chapter begins,
and the second [] is, what's to be used for header and toc.

How can I do that?

(2)
I want to layout my part start pages as follows:
- a papersized picture in the background
- Text e.g.: "Part IV: The end"
- a motto, that shouldn't appear in the toc

I tried (without the third item):

\useexternalfigure[hintergrund][part][]
\defineoverlay[titelbild]
[{\externalfigure[hintergrund][width=\overlaywidth,height=\overlayheight]}] 
\setupheads[\x03]
\setuphead[part][style=\tfd\it, page=right, header=empty,
background=titelbild, number=yes, align=left, numberstyle=Romannumerals,
right={: }]

That's not working. How would it work?

(I'd satisfied, if you could point me to the right commands,
I'll then try the right syntax myself -- it's a bit heavy
to find the right thing in the beta manual, if I don't know
what to look for...)

thank you again!

\chapter{some text \nomarking{whatever} and some more}

I fear the to is not handled. You can so something:

\def\nocontent#1{#1}

an when placing the content: 

\def\nocontent#1{...}

but it should actually be a feature. I'll add it when I extend / cleanup
the sectioning.

I assume that part (part.pdf or part.jpg or so) is a figure?

Parts are always kind of special, so they seldom fit in the general
mechanism. How about: 

\setuphead
  [part]
  [command=\MyPart,
   style=,
   placehead=yes,
   number=yes]

\useexternalfigure[cow][cow][factor=max]

\def\MyPart#1#2%
  {\bfd #1 : #2}

\def\StartPart#1#2%
  {\page
   \defineoverlay[somepage][{\externalfigure[#1]}]
   \setupbackgrounds[page][background=somepage]
   \startstandardmakeup
   \part{#2}
   \vfill}

\def\StopPart%
  {\stopstandardmakeup
   \setupbackgrounds[page][background=]}

\StartPart {cow} {ONE}

some funny motto

\StopPart

\StartPart {cow} {TWO}

some funny motto

\StopPart

Of course you need a cow to let this work; factor=max makes the picture
scale to fit best.

Good Luck!
Then I have to do tricks so far.

Yes, it's a lightened version of the title picture.

I'll try to adapt this construction.

put the background on the [rightpage] instead of [page], or say
\page[right] instead of \page

I found an easier solution in the docs: \nolist
\def\longonly#1{\nomarking{\nolist{#1}}}

So I can type: \chapter{The long \longonly{and winding } road}

(It doesn't work with \nolist{\nomarking{#1}}. Why?)

Some day ....  everything will work. Typical something that I implement
when I run into it. You will be surprised how many thinsg are there low
level. Even I forget them, so using \nolist is ok -)

Hopeful prophecy. :-)

Now there's a little problem:
The command tries to be nice and sets an ellipse (...)
It's not that bad, but can I forbide it?
