No, I meant with \setupheads[style=bold] you can change the font of each heading and with \setuphead[section][style=italic] you change only the font for section. As you can see we have a plural and a singular form of the command. With the new system to generate the setup commands we have only \setuphead which handles bot cases. >> For backward >> compatibility you can find things like this: \let\setupnotes\setupnote > > OK, but is this a good idea? > I thought that mkii is kept around for backward compatibility > and that mkiv takes the liberty to rationalize the syntax, > sometimes sacrificing backwards compatibility in order not to be > encumbered with inconsistent syntax, whenever possible. > > Indeed, this sometimes generates much discussion on the mailing list > when we discover that our favorite command has been removed > or renamed - a good way of testing to see if we are active and alert. :) It’s better to promote the new commands but we should take time until the old variants vanish because we have to get used to them.
