<div>Hi, everybody</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>I want to use my titles as water marks. I&#39;ve tried this small test file:</div>
<div>=================================</div>
<div>
<p>\setupcolors[state=start]<br>\setuppagenumbering[location=]</p>
<p>\setMPtext{titleentry}{xxx}</p>
<p>\setuphead<br>&nbsp; [title]<br>&nbsp; [textcommand=\TITLE,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; page=right,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; before=,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; after=\blank,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; inbetween=,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; header=,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; textstyle=,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; style=]</p>
<p>\def\TITLE#1%<br>&nbsp; {#1\setMPtext{titleentry}{#1}}</p>
<p>\setupbackgrounds<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; [page]<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; [background=page]</p>
<p>\defineoverlay[page] [\useMPgraphic{page}]</p>
<p>\startuseMPgraphic{page}<br>&nbsp; StartPage;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; save r;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; picture r;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; r := textext.rt(\MPstring{titleentry});<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; r := r shifted (.5Hsize[Text],.5Vsize[Text]);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; draw r withcolor darkred;<br>&nbsp; StopPage; 
<br>\stopuseMPgraphic</p>
<p>\starttext</p>
<p>\title{Some Title}</p>
<p>Some texts.</p>
<p>\page[yes]</p>
<p>Some texts.</p>
<p>\stoptext</p></div>
<div>=================================</div>
<div>It seems it did not get the correct parameter. So I guess the&nbsp;\setMPtext inside \TITLE was not executed when the page was created. I also want to get chapter titles as water marks as well. What can I do?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
