Chapter headings macro

Chapter headings macro

[Devendra Ghate]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1796 bytes --]

Hello everyone,

I have defined a macro for the chapter layouts -- nothing fancy, but 
still it is giving me trouble.
Essentially, I call this macro using *command=* in *\setuphead*. My 
philosophy was to add
all the details in the macro, so that I don't have to call anyother 
keyvalue pairs in *\setuphead*.
However, the macro gives two different results when called for 
typesetting a chapter heading
by ConTeXt internals and explicitly by me in the document (see attached 
file).

I don't know why the chapter number font style is not obeyed. If I add 
*numberstyle=dfont* in
*\setuphead*, then the font size is increased but the frame size has 
spurious space at top and
bottom.

When I call the macro myself, there is a single whitespace before the 
chapter heading (as can be
seen in the attached file).

I have gone through the wiki as much as possible and I think that I 
could have easily copied
*much better* heading styles from it. But I do not want to use code that 
I don't fully
understand.

Any suggestions/help will be most appreciated.

Regards,
Devendra

Thank you Wolfgang. I guess this is the proper ConTeXt way.

Presumably I will have to define a plain set up for unnumbered chapters 
like bibliographies
and call *\setuphead[chapter][alternative=plain]* for these chapters.

Unnumbered chapters use the *title* heading.
