When you use three arguments the first is used for the position of text, i.e. above the text, margin or edge areas.
I know this, and I find the syntax unfortunate, to say the least.
Only six or seven arguments work in this case but this only useful in a double sided document.
Indeed, a double-sided (asymmetric) document. And it is pretty unwieldy.
You need a new command for this because adding an assignment option can produce unexpected results, e.g. the example below won't work anymore.
\setupheadertexts[{\date[d=...,m=...,y=...]}]
Well, what would make sense? I would have no problem dropping/ignoring this (historic) command. How about: \setupheader [left=,leftodd=,middle=,...] \setupfooter or \setupheader [lefttext=,leftoddtext=,middletext=,...] This would be logical. Alan
