Setting a heading text on its own page with \setuphead

Setting a heading text on its own page with \setuphead

[Joey McCollum via ntg-context]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3103 bytes --]

Hi,

I'd like to define my own class of heading derived from the "part" heading;
in the MWE below, it's called "MyPart". I'd like this heading to have the
following features:

   - Its title should appear in the ToC, but its number should never be
   printed in the ToC or in the text.
   - It should always start on an odd page.
   - Its text should be in a larger size than the text of the body, set in
   all caps, and set with extra letterspacing.
   - Most importantly, the title of the heading should appear on its own
   page without a header or footer. The text of the body should begin on the
   next odd page.

I was hoping to accomplish all of this within the \setuphead command, and
it seems like this should be possible, but in the following example, I'm
not getting the text of the header at all:

```

\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, location=] %undo default page
numbering in middle of header; doublesided option will ensure that the
document has an even number of pages


%Define an odd page break between books that omits headers and footers in
blank pages

\definepagebreak[blankpagebreak][yes,header,footer,right]


%Setup body and title fonts (is any of this redundant, or can it be
consolidated?):

\definefontsynonym [EBGaramond] [name:EBGaramond-Regular] [features=default]

\definefontfamily[garamond] [rm] [EBGaramond] [features={default}]

\setupbodyfont[garamond, 12pt]

\setupinterlinespace[18pt] %text line spacing

\definefont[MyPartFont][EBGaramond at 24pt][line=36pt] %font command to be
used for setting MyPart heading texts


%Macro for adjusting kerning of MyPart heading texts (can any of this can
be handled in the \definefont call?):

\define[1]\MyPartTextCommand{%

\kerncharacters[0.6666]%increase letterspacing

\WORDS{#1}%set all letters in uppercase

}


%Macro for page break after MyPart headings:

\define\AfterMyPart{%

\page[blankpagebreak]%

}


%Define a new heading at the level of a part:

\definehead[MyPart][part]

\setuphead[MyPart][

number=no,%do not add a number to this heading

page=blankpagebreak,%always start this on an odd page

header=empty,%disable headers for this page

footer=empty,%disable footers for this page

align={flushleft, nothyphenated},%titling alignment settings

textstyle=\MyPartFont,%set text style

textcommand=\MyPartTextCommand,%set text formatting command

commandafter=\AfterBookTitle%add a double page break afterwards

]


%Setup header and footer text:

\setupheadertexts[{\structureuservariable{booktitle}}\hfill][][][\hfill
{\structureuservariable{booktitle}}] %even left, even right, odd left, odd
right

\setupfootertexts[\pagenumber][][][\pagenumber] %even left, even right, odd
left, odd right


%Ensure that whitespace respects the grid layout:

\setupblank[line,fixed]

\starttext

\startMyPart[title={Title for Title Page}][booktitle={Title for Header}]

\input knuth\par

\input knuth\par

\input knuth\par

\input knuth\par

\input knuth\par

\input knuth

\stopMyPart

\stoptext
```

I expect there's something obvious that I'm missing, but any help is
appreciated.

Thank you!

Joey

Hi Joey,

these are options for \setuphead[part] (MyPart in your case):

number=no.

This is the default for \setuphead[part] (only noticeable in doublesided
documents).

style is the right option there.

placehead=yes is required for \setuphead[part]. And also for MyPart.

header=empty and footer=emtpy. For the page break before the body text,
you need after=\page.

See above. I hope it helps,

Pablo

Thank you so much! The piece I was missing was the "placehead=yes". Now
everything works as expected! I couldn't figure out how to increase letter
spacing for the "style" argument using just a \definefont macro, but I was
able to do it with a macro supplied as the "textcommand" argument.

Most of the stuff was already answered by Pablo. Below is my version how 
to set the layout to fit the requirements.

\definefontfamily
   [garamond]
   [rm]
   [EBGaramond]

\setupbodyfont
   [garamond,12pt]

\definefont
   [MyPartFont]
   [Serif at 24pt]
   [line=36pt]

\setuppagenumbering
   [alternative=doublesided,
    location=]

\setupinterlinespace
   [line=18pt]

\definepagebreak
   [blankpagebreak]
   [yes,header,footer,right]

\definehead
   [MyPart]
   [part]

\definecharacterkerning
   [mypartkerning]
   [factor=0.6666,
    features=letterspacing]

\setuphead
   [MyPart]
   [placehead=yes,
    number=no,
    page=blankpagebreak,
    header=empty,
    footer=empty,
    align={flushleft,nothyphenated},
    style=MyPartFont,
 
textstyle={\setcharacterkerning[mypartkerning]\setcharactercasing[WORD]},
    after={\page[blankpagebreak]}]

\setupheadertexts
   [\structureuservariable{booktitle}] []
   [] [\structureuservariable{booktitle}]

\setupfootertexts
   [pagenumber] []
   [] [pagenumber]

\setupblank
   [line,fixed]

\starttext

\startMyPart [title={Title for Title Page}] [booktitle={Title for Header}]
\dorecurse{6}{\input knuth\par}
\stopMyPart

\stoptext

Re: Setting a heading text on its own page with \setuphead

[Joey McCollum via ntg-context]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2919 bytes --]

Beautiful! This makes things even more succinct. I notice that if I try to
prevent paragraph indentation after a MyPart heading with the
"indentnext=no" argument, it doesn't work. Is this because of the
\page[blankpagebreak] command in the "after" argument? (In any case, I can
just change the "after" argument to
"after=\page[blankpagebreak]\noindentation" and things work as expected, so
this isn't a real problem. I'm just curious.)

Thanks!

Joey
