If you say there's a logical explanation for this, then I believe you.
Hello Matt, isn't it logical, if you consider \setupheadertexts [odd-left] [odd-right] [even-left] [even-right] ?
Please explain why I should consider it that way. Most books in every language I know of[*] are laid out with the even page on the left and the odd page on the right. Furthermore, the ConTeXt manual says: Those who want more variations in headers and footers can use four instead of two arguments .... \setupfootertexts [even left] [even right] [odd left] [odd right] So the order of arguments contradicts both the documentation and what I think of as common sense. NOTES: * There are exceptions, of course. Other than English, languages I am familiar with are mainly Chinese and Japanese. Traditional books in those languages are laid out in the opposite direction to European books, but almost all contemporary books in China, and I think most in Japan, follow the Western practice.
