Re: [NTG-context] Header problem in project

8 Jan 2007

      Taco et all,

 From what I could deduce, our former macro for placeanswers was a  
group.

\def\placeanswers{
   \bgroup
   \doifmodeelse{short}
   {
      \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
       \answers{Answers}\vskip 1em\startcolumnset[answers]
       \selectblocks[shortanswer][criterium=section]
       \stopcolumnset
   }
   {
       \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
       \answers{Solutions}\vskip 1em
       \selectblocks[longanswer][criterium=section]
   }
   \egroup
}

It occurred at the end of an exercise set like this:

%%% ENDTESTBANK
%%%================================================
\stopquestions

\placeanswers\kern0pt

\stopcomponent

So when the group was finished, the header for the component took  
over. Here is the fix I found. I just set new headers for the rest of  
the way.

\def\placeanswers{\doifmode{long}{%
	\page[yes]
   	  \def\headermarkleft{{\sc Chapter \headnumber[chapter]}}
   	  \def\headermarkright{{\sc{}Section \headnumber[section]}}
   	  \setupheadertexts[][\headermarkright][\headermarkleft][]}
   \bgroup
   \doifmodeelse{short}
   {
      \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
       \answers{Answers}\vskip 1em\startcolumnset[answers]
       \selectblocks[shortanswer][criterium=section]
       \stopcolumnset
   }
   {
       \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
       \answers{Solutions}\vskip 1em
       \selectblocks[longanswer][criterium=section]
   }
   \egroup
}

So now when we compile with:

texmfstart texexec --mode=long,paging section1exercise

We get what we want, which is no page numbers in the headers once the  
solutions start. You can see the result at:

http://msenux.redwoods.edu/IntAlgText2/chapter2/section1solutions.pdf

We have a paging mode and a perl script that syncs the page numbers  
at the beginning of this document with the chapter page numbers.

Thanks.

When we compile section1exercises.tex with texmfstart texexec --
mode=long section1exercises, all is well until the last page, where
the former header is used instead of the header defined in the
\placeanswers macro. But we want to finish out the document from the
point we put the \placeanswers with the second header.
Any suggestions?
Does ending with \placeanswers\page help?
