Hi,
I am trying to format a chapter heading so that there is a linebreak
between the number and the name. The only way I managed to do this is this:


\setuphead[

chapter][command=\ChapTitle]

\def\ChapTitle#1#2%

{\framed[height=2cm,width=broad]{#1\\#2}

}


But this limits me to a fixed height for the frame. This doesn't work if
I don't set a fixed height, which would be a problem with longer chapter
names that need linebreaks.

What is the correct way to do this?

Thank you,
Marc Trius.

This worked for me:

\def\ChapTitle#1#2{\framed{\vbox{\startalignment[center]#1\par#2\stopalignment}}}

I don't know if \vbox's are frowned on in ConTeXt, but my fix doesn't work if you remove it.  I've just started migrating from Plain Tex to ConTeXt, so please excuse a naive response.

\define[2]\ChapTitle
  {\framed[width=broad,align=middle]{#1\\#2}}

Special layouts for the headings requires sometimes \vbox and \hbox but in this case you don’t need it.

Well, \framed[...,align=middle,...] is a \vbox.
