Chapter numbers in the right margin

Chapter numbers in the right margin

[Randall Skelton]

Hi all,

Does anyone have a setuphead snipit and definition to place a large
chapter number in the right margin of the page on the first page of
each chapter?  I believe this should be similar (but simplier) than
what is done in 'ConTeXt an Excursion' but I wasn't able to find a
definition for that.  I'd be quite willing to put this up on the wiki
when I figure it out...

What I have so far doesn't really lead to much flexibility in terms of
positioning.  I'd like to be able to set both the horizontal and
vertical position of the chapter number.  I'd also like to have the
number shift vertically downwards for each new chapter.

\def\MyChapterText#1{#1 
  \inright{ \switchtobodyfont[MyTitling, 72pt] \rm \headnumber[chapter] }
}

\setuphead
   [Topic, chapter]
   [textcommand=\MyChapterText,
    style={\switchtobodyfont[MyTitling, 16pt]\sc},
    color=black,
    number=no,
    page=right,
    continue=no,
    header=empty,
    before=\vbox to 4cm\bgroup,
    after=\vss\egroup]

Many thanks,
Randall

 From cont-eni.pdf, chapter Text elements:

\setuphead[...][..,..=..,..]
:
command    \command#1#2
numbercommand    \command#1
textcommand    \command#1
:

Use textcommand only for text, numbercommand only for number,
command for both;
you can see some examples in section    Variations in titles .

Thanks for the reply.

The problem with separating the text and number is that the space
separating the text and number still appears in the chapter text.  On
a similar note, why doesn't  'show makeup' display the right margin
number?

\def\MyChapterNumberText#1{ 
  \inright{\begingroup 
    \midaligned{#1}
  \endgroup}
}

\def\MyChapterText#1{
  \begingroup 
    \leftaligned{#1}
  \endgroup
}

\setuphead
   [Topic, chapter]
   [numbercommand=\MyChapterNumberText,
    textcommand=\MyChapterText,
    numberstyle={\switchtobodyfont[48pt]},
    textstyle={\switchtobodyfont[12pt]},
    color=black,
    number=yes,
    page=right,
    continue=no,
    header=empty,
    before=\vbox to 3cm\bgroup,
    after=\vss\egroup]

\starttext

%\showmakeup

\chapter{This is a Chapter Title}
\input tufte

\section{This is a section title}
\input tufte \par \input knuth \par

\subsection{This is a sub-section title}
\input tufte \par \input knuth \par

\stoptext

May be I do not understand you but you introduce spaces yourself in your 
  \My... Write % at the end of lines as shown:

> \def\MyChapterNumberText#1{ 
   \def\MyChapterNumberText#1{%
>   \inright{\begingroup 
>     \midaligned{#1}
      \midaligned{#1}%

    \endgroup}%

  \def\MyChapterText#1{%

>     \leftaligned{#1}
      \leftaligned{#1}%
>   \endgroup

Depends in which mode (horizontal, vertical) your code occures. (If 
\midaligned expands to \ignorespaces at the end then % is not needed there.)

Sorry Randall; i'm sure that i don't understand what you want.
Maybe next code can help you...


\def\MyChapterCommand#1#2{%
\hbox to \textwidth{#1\hss #2}%
}

% or perhaps
%
%\def\MyChapterCommand#1#2{%
%\hbox to \textwidth{\llap{#1}\hss #2}%
%}


\setuphead
   [Topic, chapter]
   [%numbercommand=\MyChapterNumberText,
    %textcommand=\MyChapterText,
    command={\MyChapterCommand},
    numberstyle={\switchtobodyfont[48pt]},
    textstyle={\switchtobodyfont[12pt]},
    color=black,
    number=yes,
    page=right,
    continue=no,
    header=empty,
    before=\vbox to 3cm\bgroup,
    after=\vss\egroup]
