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.
