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

Just a few starters, hoping other people will can add stuff Do you want 'hands-on material'? - dunno. Or 'study material'? - R. Brinkhurst's 'The elements of typographic style' - Edward.R.Tufte (who writes about the presentation of information) Or documentation on 'How do I do this in ConTeXt'? - the standard context manuals have lots of examples - Knuth's TeX book - there are lots of things and pointers at http://contextgarden.net - ask this list Or just some fun stuff on the web? - http://www.philobiblon.com Taco ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
