Hola,
I imagine this is probably simple but I can’t find it…
I want the first page only of each section to have particular content in
header/footer, then all the following pages to different specific
content.Right now, I am manually entering it in each section.I’m hoping
there’s a way to automate this; put it into the environment file for all
sections.
Of course you can set different header/footer layouts for chapter pages.
With  \setupheadertexts and \setupfootertexts you set first the text
which should appear on regular pages.
To have a different text on a chapter page you can use the \definetext
command to set them (third first argument is the name of the setup and
the second argument the location). These setups than can applied to the
chapter with the header and footer key in \setuphead.
%%%% begin example
\setupheadertexts
   [Page \userpagenumber\ of \lastuserpagenumber]
\definetext
   [chapterheader]         % name
   [header]                 % vertical position
   [This is a chapter page] % content
\definetext
   [chapterfooter]
   [footer]
   [pagenumber]
\setuphead
   [chapter]
   [header=chapterheader,
    footer=chapterfooter]
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}
   {\expanded{\chapter{Chapter \recurselevel}}
    \dorecurse{\numexpr2*\recurselevel\relax}{\samplefile{knuth}}}
\stoptext
%%%% end example

Thank you Wolfgang!

I tried to change your code from chapters to sections (since that's what I was already using) but it didn't work.  So, I switched my sections to chapters and it works great!  But it also caused me to run into other things I'd set up manually that I'm having to figure out---good way to learn!  Haha!

One thing I *CANNOT* figure out:  I've been using \doifoddpageelse to put in a blank/empty page at the end of a section (if needed) so that new sections always start on an odd page.  This is still working with the change to chapters from sections, EXCEPT for the first chapter (after TOC)!  Totally stuck with that one...

Thanks again!

hasta,
Mike
