Hi everyone,

I want part titles to appear on the own (empty) page, centered
horizontally and vertically, and in small caps. To this end, I've set
up the \part command as

    \def\Partcommand#1#2{\centerline{\smcp #2}}
    \setuphead[part][
        placehead=yes,
        number=no,
        page=mychapterpagebreak,
        header=high,
        footer=high,
        before={\hbox{}\vfill},
        command=\Partcommand,
        after={\vfill},
        prefix=no,
    ]

However, this does not seem to allow line breaks in a part title,
which is a problem with very long titles, e.g.
\part{Perspectives on Decision Ethics from the USA, Russian
Federation, Egypt, and the Czech Republic}

Is there any way to get a line break on the part page?

I should note that in the TOC, the part title is broken properly, and
also observes \crlf.

Thanks,
Michael

The problem is that \centerline puts things in a hbox, which won't break 
across lines. The solution below might not be the most ConTeXt-y way, 
but is perhaps the TeX way:

\def\raggedcenter{%
	\hyphenpenalty=10000 % no hyphenation
   \parindent=0pt \rightskip0pt plus1em % add stretchy glue to left
  \leftskip0pt plus1em                  % and right
   \spaceskip.3333em \xspaceskip.5em \parfillskip=0pt % reg. word spacing
   \hbadness=10000 % Last line will usually be underfull, so turn off
                   % badness reporting.
}

\def\Partcommand#1#2{{\raggedcenter\smcp #2}}
   \setuphead[part][
       placehead=yes,
       number=no,
       page=mychapterpagebreak,
       header=high,
       footer=high,
       before={\hbox{}\vfill},
       command=\Partcommand,
       after={\vfill},
       prefix=no,
   ]

That's probably right... just removing centerline doesn't lead to
linebreaks, however

Hmm... that doesn't seem to do linebreaks. It shifts the part title a
bit horizontally. It also does weird things to some my *chapter* titles
(add a large space after the first word), which is configured as
    \setuphead[chapter][
        page=mychapterpagebreak,
        number=no,
        alternative=c,
        align={center, nothyphenated, verytolerant},
        style={\switchtobodyfont[16pt]},
        header=high,
        footer=chapterpage,
    ]

WTF? Very very strange!

Michael

\definefont[PartStyle][Caps sa 1]

\setuphead
   [part]
   [placehead=yes,
    number=no,
    before={\startstandardmakeup[align={middle,lohi}]},
    after=\stopstandardmakeup,
    style=PartStyle,
   %align=middle,

   %header=high,

That shows me for not testing it properly.

Works great! I ended up with

\definefont[PartStyle][Caps sa 1]
\definepagebreak
  [mychapterpagebreak]
  [yes,header,right]
\setuphead[part]
  [placehead=yes,
   page=mychapterpagebreak,
   number=no,
   before={\startstandardmakeup[align={middle,lohi}]\switchtobodyfont[18pt]},
   after=\stopstandardmakeup,
   style=PartStyle,
   align=middle,
   prefix=no]

The only things I had to add were the mychapterpagebreak, which makes
sure the (left) page before the part title is empty, and the fontsize.

Thanks!

Michael
