Text Indentation and Space Around Headers

Text Indentation and Space Around Headers

[Emmanuel Asante]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 480 bytes --]

Hi All,

I want to indent all text in a document except the chapter header text by a
given amount. I have used the following to achieve it:
  \setupnarrower[left=3cm]

and

  \startnarrower[left]

  \stopnarrower

But I have the feeling that there has to be a better way of doing it.

Secondly, how do I control the space around headers? I would like to reduce
the big between the chapter header and the first paragraph. Any help will
be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Emmanuel

It’s easier to move the headings to the left.

\setuphead[chapter][after={\blank[…]}]

That's a  strange way of  doing things, if I  get it right  what you
mean. If you want to have the number in the margin, you can use

\setupheads [alternative=inmargin]

or you can provide a negative indent for the heads

\setupheads [margin=-2cm]

which has the same effect as indenting everything else.

\setuphead [chapter]
	[
		after=,              % To remove the space
		%after={\blank[1cm]},
		%after={\blank[2cm]},
	]

Marco,

No, I don't want the number in the margin. As you and Wolfgang have
suggested, it is easier to move the headers to the left than to move the
text to the right. I will play around with it and see what I get.

Thanks
