we have a lot or areas ... and if you really want you can do this ...
\setuplayouttext
Has been there for ages ... (but I never use that method).
I has the same question a few years ago but I never used it because it has a few limitations like missing style/color support.
I am looking for a simple and obvious way of setting header and footer texts. The \setupheadertexts has limitations and I view this as historical, for ConTeXt commands have evolved over time usually towards better solutions, even if we leave in place for reasons of backward compatibility habits that can be hard to quit. One example is \setuppapersize [page=letter,paper=letter] (sorry, and I *do* much prefer A4). This is, I believe, far superior to \setuppapersize [letter] [letter] Do you find that keys in \setupheader make sense? If so, what choice? (as we like to limit the proliferation of key names). Alan
