A big space before a smaller space behind the heading:
\setuphead [subject] [before={\blank[2*big]}, after={\blank[big]}, style=bold] \starttext \subject{Headline 1} text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text vtext text text text text text text text text text text text text\par \subject{Headline 2} text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text vtext text text text text text text text text text text text text\par \stoptext

Setting label of a new section head
\definehead[mychapter][chapter][bodypartlabel=mychapter] \setuplabeltext[en][mychapter=My Chapter~] \starttext \mychapter{Animals} \stoptext
produces
Setting label of a part
In MkIV, if you want parts to be labeled as "Part 1" etc., the following isn't sufficient (but works in MkII):
\setuphead[part][placehead=yes] \starttext \part{A part} \stoptext
because it produces
For MkIV, add bodypartlabel=part to the setuphead:
\setuphead[part][placehead=yes, bodypartlabel=part] \starttext \part{A part} \stoptext
(Thanks to Wolfgang Schuster on the mailing list for this information.)
\setupheadnumber[section] [8] \setupheadnumber[subsection] [3] \setupheadnumber[subsubsection][5] \setuphead[section,subsection][placehead=hidden] \setuphead[subsubsection] [placehead=yes] \starttext \section{} % hidden 8th section \subsection{} % hidden 3rd section \subsubsection{This is complete numbering of subsubsection} % view 9.4.6 subsubsection \stoptext
produces
Modifying the page before a chapter
Here is an example which shows how you can change the background color of an empty page before the chapter title.
\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \startsetups [chapter:before] \doifoddpageelse {} {\pushbackground[page] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=black] \page[empty,right] \popbackground} \stopsetups \setuphead [chapter] [page=yes, before=\directsetup{chapter:before}] \starttext \startchapter[title={Knuth}] \dorecurse{10}{\samplefile{knuth}} \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Zapf}] \dorecurse{10}{\samplefile{zapf}} \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Ward}] \dorecurse{10}{\samplefile{ward}} \stopchapter \stoptext
produces
Sadly the output does not show the effect here. Copy the code into a file to see the background change.
The command \pushbackground stores the values of the background which is modified. After the execution of \page[empty,right] the old values of background are restored by \popbackground.
