Titles

< Structurals | Visuals >

Default

numbered	unnumbered
\part	--
\chapter	\title
\section	\subject
\subsection	\subsubject
\subsubsection	\subsubsubject
...	...

Every heading command can take an optional parameter as reference:

\title[hasselt-by-night]{Hasselt by night}

The bracket pair is optional and used for internal References. If you want to refer to this header you type for example

\at{page}[hasselt-by-night].

(see \at)

Of course you can switch off numbering even for a "numbered" title, see \setuphead.

Your own title styles

Sometimes the possibilities of \setuphead aren't enough. Just define your own styling command like this:

\def\MyChapterCommand#1#2{\framed[frame=off, bottomframe=on, topframe=on]{\headtext{chapter} \vbox{#1\blank#2}}}
% #1 is number, #2 is text
% \vbox is needed for \blank to work
\setuphead[chapter][command=\MyChapterCommand, style={\ss\bfa}]
\setupheadtext[chapter=Chapter]

so \chapter{My First Chapter} looks like:

Your own titling levels

Of course you can define your own titling commands and probably must adapt the default settings.

\definehead[myheader][section]

\setuphead[myheader]
[numberstyle=bold,
textstyle=cap,
before=\hairline\blank,
after=\nowhitespace\hairline]

\myheader[hasselt-ref]{Hasselt makes headlines}

A new header \myheader is defined and it inherits the properties of section (title, subject, whatever). You can "define" several headers at once!

Table(s) of Contents

Default:

\completecontent % with title
\placecontent % without title

Define your own tables of somewhat with \definelist and \setuplist!

To have some parts of your title texts not appear in the table of contents, use \nolist and have a look at http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/magazines/mag-0001.pdf.
