Hi Aditya,

I tried to typeset your example, but got an error: whether or not the command
        % macros=mkvi
is present on the fist line, then ConTeXt complains saying that
        ! Illegal parameter number in definition of \MyHeader
and stops typesetting pointing to the command \stoptexdefinition.

What am I missing here?
Thanks for your attention: OK
