Dear crew, Another e-TeX culprit? Try this in plain tex mode: the heading corresponding to \title disappears, but works in pdfetex: =========== \starttext \setupheadertexts% [][title][\Author][]% \setupheader[style=\sc,state=high] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, location={footer,marginedge}] \title{Test Chapter1} \def\Author{Author 1} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte \input knuth \par} \title{Test Chapter2} \def\Author{Author 1} \stoptext =========== A related problem: I tried doing each article manually, e.g., \setupheadertexts% [][An Article][\Author][]% but the headings start 2 pages earlier than needed. So the last few pages of Article~1 contain the headings for Article~2! Aside from fixing the original problem I'd like to be understand how to handle this manually as well. Idris
