Hi,
now I have another hurdle to be taken :-) — Depending on the odd or even number of the section I have to place an ornament at the end of the section.
I have sofar the following setup:
[...]
However the the evaluation of the sectionnumber results always in “false”, having therefore always odd as a sectionending.
You have two problem: 1. To get the current value for \currentheadnumber you have use \determineheadnumber[section] before you use it but the example below shows a better method. 2. What you do with \doifelse{...}{even} is to compare the numeric value of the section with the string "even" which is always false. To check whether the value is odd or even you have to use the \ifodd command.
What to change in order to get the desired result?
%%%% begin example \startsetups [section:odd] \vfill \bold {End of odd numbered section} \stopsetups \startsetups [section:even] \vfill \bold {End of even numbered section} \stopsetups \startsetups [section:end] \ifodd\namedheadnumber{section} \directsetup{section:odd} \else \directsetup{section:even} \fi \stopsetups \setuphead [section] [aftersection=\directsetup{section:end}] \starttext \startsection[title=Ward] \input ward \stopsection \page \startsection[title=Knuth] \input knuth \stopsection \stoptext %%%% end example Wolfgang
