Just a few starters, hoping other people will can add stuff
Do you want 'hands-on material'?
- dunno.
Or 'study material'?
- R. Brinkhurst's 'The elements of typographic style'
- Edward.R.Tufte (who writes about the presentation of information)
Or documentation on 'How do I do this in ConTeXt'?
- the standard context manuals have lots of examples
- Knuth's TeX book
- there are lots of things and pointers at http://contextgarden.net
- ask this list
Or just some fun stuff on the web?
- http://www.philobiblon.com

The important trick is to define a special command that does the
typesetting of the chapter number + text, I hope you're not too
scared of low-level TeX, because in the actual example below I've
added some low-level stuff to fiddle with the outdent.
This is the basic setup for the chapter command:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\def\Boxedchapter#1#2%
{\framed[background=color,
backgroundcolor=white]{#1.~#2}}
\setuphead[chapter][command=\Boxedchapter]
The color commands are needed so that the background of the
chapter head overwrites the line in the margin. That line
is a single command, btw:
\setupbackgrounds[text][leftmargin][state=start,rightframe=on]
Also, I've added a \blank in the example below so that a bit
of the line sticks out above the framed text, that looks
better, I think.
You can look up other options for \setupbackgrounds, \framed and
\setuphead in http://texshow.contextgarden.net, or use your local
'texshow' command.
Greetings, Taco
