Dear list, I've got a problem. Not the first one, but the first one to contribute to the list. ;) system> ConTeXt ver: 2024.04.01 08:59 LMTX fmt: 2024.4.12 int: english/english system> 'cont-new.mkxl' loaded %========== %========== \definehead[Datum][subsubsubject] \startsetups[Test] Pr=(\getmarking[Datum][previous])~ Nx=(\getmarking[Datum][next])~ Fi=(\getmarking[Datum][first])~ La=(\getmarking[Datum][last])~ Tp=(\getmarking[Datum][top])~ Bt=(\getmarking[Datum][bottom])~ Cu=(\getmarking[Datum][current])~ \stopsetups \setupheadertexts[text] [\setups{Test}][] [\setups{Test}][] \setuppagenumbering[location=footer] \starttext \startDatum[title={secA}]% \dorecurse{50}{aaa } \pagebreak \dorecurse{50}{aaa } \stopDatum \startDatum[title={secB}]% \dorecurse{630}{bbb } \stopDatum \startDatum[title={secC}]% \dorecurse{50}{ccc } \stopDatum \startDatum[title={secD}]% \dorecurse{50}{ddd } \stopDatum \startDatum[title={secE}]% \dorecurse{50}{eee } \stopDatum \stoptext %========== %========== I'd like to write the marking of the very first text at the current page to the header. That seems to be a bit tricky, at least for me. (I'm afraid that \getmarking[xxx][top] was intended for that and it is not feasible at all.) At page 1 the header should read "secA", at page 2 again "secA" (because the very first text belongs to "secA"), and at page 3 "secC" (because the very first text (the section title) belongs to "secC"). Unfortunatly \getmarking[][] does not behave like I expacted. I understand the keywords of \getmarking in the wiki (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/getmarking) as listed below: • previous: marking at the bottom of the page BEFORE the current page (no page before then empty) • next: marking at the top of the page AFTER the current page (no page after then bottom of current page) • top: marking at the top of the current page • bottom: marking at the bottom of the current page • first: first marking that starts at the current page (no first than behaving like top) • last: last marking that starts at the current page (no last than behaving like bottom) • current: last stored marking while deciding on pagebreaking between the current page and the (potential) following page • default: first According to these thoughts, I started with \getmarking[Datum][top]. But "top" seems not to work, there is no difference between "top" and "first", "top" behaves like "first". My second thought: Generally \getmarking[Datum][first] would be perfect, so I've thought something like \doifelse{\fetchmark[Datum][next] of the page before the current page}{\fetchmark[Datum][previous]} {\getmarking[Datum][previous]} {\getmarking[Datum][first]} could work. (Honestly I don't know how to do "\fetchmark[Datum][next] of the page before the current page}". The first page would need a special treatment too.) But: At page 2 \getmarking[Datum][next] (Nx) contains "secB" but at top of page 3 is not "secB" but "secC". So \getmarking[Datum][next] does not seem to contain the correct information I need, therefore I don't get any further. Any ideas: How do I write the marking of the very first text at the current page to the header? Thank you in advance, Matthias
