How to do coloured heads

How to do coloured heads

[Malte Stien]

Hello,

I am new to all of this. First of all, thank you to everyone involved for such an awesome software package. I have been looking for something like this for a while for technical documentation for software projects and had no idea this even existed until... well, yesterday. So, I spent most of the day playing with it.

However, I have not managed to work out how to get coloured heads. I am trying to have my section heads in darkgray. So I tried

  \setuphead[section][style=\tfb\ss\color[darkgray]]

which results in a processing error and

  \setuphead[section][style=\tfb\ss{\color[darkgray]}]

which seems to process, but does just not do anything (I did not actually expect that last one to work, but I got a bit desperate). While the manual is well written and certain well laid out, it does not quite work for me as a reference guide in that it does not seem to be complete. So a little help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
Malte.

Better group the arguments of the “style” key as a whole:

·································································

\definehead[colorsection][section]
\setuphead [colorsection][
  style={\tfb\ss\color[darkgray]},
]

\starttext

\startcolorsection[title={This should be colored}]
  \input knuth
\stopcolorsection

\stoptext \endinput

·································································

That’s what this list is for. And the wiki …

or, more ConTeXt-like:

\definehead[colorsection][section]
\setuphead [colorsection][
   style=\ssbf,
   color=red,
]

Thank you. Either of those solutions work fine.
