Hello,
I want to make a layout where a vertical line is putted at the rigth of
the left margin. Capters and paragraphs must indent in the left margin,
and be boxed.
Someting like:
The important trick is to define a special command that does the
typesetting of the chapter number + text, I hope you're not too
scared of low-level TeX, because in the actual example below I've
added some low-level stuff to fiddle with the outdent.
This is the basic setup for the chapter command:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\def\Boxedchapter#1#2%
{\framed[background=color,
backgroundcolor=white]{#1.~#2}}
\setuphead[chapter][command=\Boxedchapter]
The color commands are needed so that the background of the
chapter head overwrites the line in the margin. That line
is a single command, btw:
\setupbackgrounds[text][leftmargin][state=start,rightframe=on]
Also, I've added a \blank in the example below so that a bit
of the line sticks out above the framed text, that looks
better, I think.
You can look up other options for \setupbackgrounds, \framed and
\setuphead in http://texshow.contextgarden.net, or use your local 'texshow'
command.
Greetings, Taco
