I was trying out line breaks for long titles (at least, long when set in
36 or 48pt text), as well as have pdf bookmarks, so I defined a \1
shorthand local to the chapter heading:
======================================================================
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\placebookmarks[chapter]
\setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark]
\setuphead[chapter][before={\bgroup\def\1{\hfil\break}}, after={\egroup}]
\starttext
\chapter{Long\1 title}
hello
\stoptext
======================================================================
If I inline the \1, as in \chapter{Long\hfil\break title}, then it's
mostly fine except that the bookmark has "hfil penalty ..." Is there's
another way to avoid that problem? Perhaps a magic option that says
what the bookmark should be, the way one can tell \index what to typeset
in the index when it is different from the inline text.
One solution is to forbid hyphens during the \chapter (with before= and
after= definitions) and also shrink the \hsize enough so that tex line
breaks where I want, but that method requires unintuitive,
fontsize-dependent dimension guessing for each chapter. Putting in line
breaks by hand is not too bad. Plus one might want to break the lines
according to meaning, which does not always produce the same results as
where breaks would go according to line length.
But meanwhile trying the hack method above, I get this error
(./q.tuo) (./q.tuo)
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> Long\1

\sanitizePDFdocencoding ...docencoding \edef #2{#1

\doPDFinsertbookmark ...oding #3\to \bookmarktext
\stripstring \bookmarktext..
\doplacebookmarks ...okmarkelement \flushbookmark
\egroup \else \expanded {\..
<to be read again>
\setupinteractionscreen
l.3 \setupinteractionscreen
[option=bookmark]
It's from this line in q.tuo
\listentry{chapter}{1}{1}{Long\1 title}{2--0-1-0-0-0-0-0--1}{1}
and the \1 is not defined during \listentry, only during the \chapter.
I didn't have a problem when the same code was part of a product (each
component being chapter in a book, with the \setuphead in an environment
file) -- only had it when I compiled one component, which is how I got
to the test case above.

Usual way is
\appendtoks\def\1{}\to\simplifiedcommands
but something seems to be broken. It seems that you can not use "any"
macro inside a chapter title, while using bookmarks. Here is a simple
test file.
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\placebookmarks[chapter]
\setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark]
\def\macro{long word}
\starttext
\chapter{Long\macro title}
\stoptext
I get same error as you (ConTeXt ver: 2006.11.01 09:59 MK II)

You do not require before...after for this. Something like
\setuphead[chapter][align={nothyphenated,stretch,tolerant}]
should work.

I agree, for headings, it is better to do linebreak by hand.

You can also make a extra bookmarkentry by hand.
\starttext
\chapter{A rather long title}
\bookmark{Short title}
\stoptext

Thanks Aditya and Wolfgang for the information. I've added it all to
the wiki <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF_Bookmarks_and_Headers> so
let me know if you find any problems there. I noticed two possible
bugs when trying out a few examples -- see below.

Thanks, that's useful (and now I found it elsewhere in the wiki).

Also useful and wikified.
Now for the two possible bugs.
1. An empty chapter breaks \bookmark:
============================================================
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\placebookmarks[chapter]
\setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark]
\starttext
\chapter{A very long chapter\\ about splines}
\bookmark{Splines}
\stoptext
============================================================
The bookmark text is "A very long chapter about splines". But adding
a letter or word to the chapter body fixes that:
============================================================
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\placebookmarks[chapter]
\setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark]
\starttext
\chapter{A very long chapter\\ about splines}
\bookmark{Splines}
hello
\stoptext
============================================================
2. The second problem is perhaps my misunderstanding. The wiki page
said to use \placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection][chapter] to
make only chapter bookmarks visible. But I find that chapter
bookmarks are open by default in the bookmark window, so I tried the
following example instead:
============================================================
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection][chapter,section]
\setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark]
\starttext
\chapter{The beginning}
Hi!
\chapter{A very, very\\ long title}
Greetings!
\section{Why so long}
I don't know
\subsection{Why not?}
Good point.
\chapter{The never-ending story}
Oh no.
\chapter{The never-ending story}
\bookmark{Forever!}
Oh no.
\stoptext
============================================================
I expected chapter and section bookmarks to be open, which they were,
but so were the subsection bookmarks. And
\placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection][chapter]
made chapter and section bookmarks open. Is there an 'off by one'
error \placebookmarks? Or have I misunderstood the purpose of the
command (I'll then fix the wiki)?
3. And a third question is whether the bookmark window is open by
default. I use xpdf (Ubuntu Linux) and it always opens the bookmark
window, whether or not \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] is
given. Perhaps that's an xpdf-specific behavior but acroread acts
differently?

indeed, bookmarks are flushed at the next paragraph, otherwise they
would end up at undefined places

Good point. Does the \bookmark then belong before the \chapter or
\section, in case the section ends up as the last line on a page?
