custom header/footer for 1st/other pages of section
Hola, I imagine this is probably simple but I can't find it... I want the first page only of each section to have particular content in header/footer, then all the following pages to different specific content. Right now, I am manually entering it in each section. I'm hoping there's a way to automate this; put it into the environment file for all sections. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

Of course you can set different header/footer layouts for chapter pages. With \setupheadertexts and \setupfootertexts you set first the text which should appear on regular pages. To have a different text on a chapter page you can use the \definetext command to set them (third first argument is the name of the setup and the second argument the location). These setups than can applied to the chapter with the header and footer key in \setuphead. %%%% begin example \setupheadertexts [Page \userpagenumber\ of \lastuserpagenumber] \definetext [chapterheader] % name [header] % vertical position [This is a chapter page] % content \definetext [chapterfooter] [footer] [pagenumber] \setuphead [chapter] [header=chapterheader, footer=chapterfooter] \starttext \dorecurse{10} {\expanded{\chapter{Chapter \recurselevel}} \dorecurse{\numexpr2*\recurselevel\relax}{\samplefile{knuth}}} \stoptext %%%% end example Wolfgang

Thank you Wolfgang! I tried to change your code from chapters to sections (since that's what I was already using) but it didn't work. So, I switched my sections to chapters and it works great! But it also caused me to run into other things I'd set up manually that I'm having to figure out---good way to learn! Haha! One thing I *CANNOT* figure out: I've been using \doifoddpageelse to put in a blank/empty page at the end of a section (if needed) so that new sections always start on an odd page. This is still working with the change to chapters from sections, EXCEPT for the first chapter (after TOC)! Totally stuck with that one... Thanks again! hasta, Mike

Ehm... Why don’t you just use \setuphead[section][page=right] ? Hraban

You can only set header or footer settings when the section starts on a new page. Permitting these two values for every section without this restrictions can lead to problems because there can be cases where you have different section levels on the same page and the setting from the last command on the page counts.
One thing I *CANNOT* figure out: I've been using \doifoddpageelse to put in a blank/empty page at the end of a section (if needed) so that new sections always start on an odd page. This is still working with the change to chapters from sections, EXCEPT for the first chapter (after TOC)! Totally stuck with that one...
Let me guess you divide your document into section blocks (frontmatter, bodymatter etc.). When this is the case you have to first disable the page setting for these blocks because they interfere with the header/footer setting. To disable the page breaks add \setupsectionblock [frontpart,bodypart] [page=no] to your document setups. No you can change the settings for the page break at the begin of each chapter to \setuphead [chapter] [page={yes,header,footer,right}] which 1. Finishes the last page of the previous chapter 2. Disables the header and footer for the next (empty) page 3. Adds a empty page when necessary to start the new chapter on a right page Wolfgang

Haha! Well... because I never found that approach in my searching. But now, I'm not using it because it doesn't work for me. I was in the middle of guessing I needed to set up doublesided or some such in order for it to work when Wolfgang's other solution came in. Thanks for your help!

When you use "page=left" or "page=right" you need a doublesided document but for a singlesided document you can use "page=even" or "page=odd". There is also another layout method which combines both. The layout is taken from a singlesided document which means the left and right margins are the same on odd and even page but checks for left or right pages work like in a doublesided document. You can test this with the example below when you uncomment the second and third pagenumbering setup- \setuppagenumbering [alternative={singlesided,doublesided}] %\setuppagenumbering % [alternative=singlesided] %\setuppagenumbering % [alternative=doublesided] \setuphead [chapter] [page=right] \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{3} {\expanded{\chapter{Chapter \recurselevel}} \dorecurse{4}{\samplefile{weisman}}} \stoptext Wolfgang

That makes sense. I wasn't really thinking of my sections as "chapters" per se. And I was forcing sections (each >5 pages) to start on new (odd) pages. But switching to chapters is fine and takes care of some other stuff I was forcing. THANKS!

How does this interact with \startsectionblockenvrironment? I found this on wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents for suppressing header/footer on TOC. I did not specify frontmatter before, but moving the header/footer content into the environment file messed up my formerly clean TOC page. :-) So, I've currently got: \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \setupheader[state=none] \setupfooter[state=none] \stopsectionblockenvironment Do I keep this and also include your code above? Or can both things be taken care of together somehow?
No you can change the settings for the page break at the begin of each chapter to
\setuphead [chapter] [page={yes,header,footer,right}]
which
1. Finishes the last page of the previous chapter 2. Disables the header and footer for the next (empty) page 3. Adds a empty page when necessary to start the new chapter on a right page
Excited to try this once I know what to do with the sectionblock stuff. Going to fiddle... THANKS!!!

Both a different setups for different purposes. In my setup I tell ConTeXt not to force a page break when it encounters \startfrontmatter or \stopfrontmatter because I insert the break with \chapter. With the sectionblockenvironment-environment you can set a list of settings which are inserted at the start of block, i.e. your settings above do the same as \startfrontmatter \setupheader[...] \setupfooter[...] ... \stopfrontmatter where I added the setting to the start of the block. The advantage of \startsectionblockenvironment is that you have separated the layout from the content. Wolfgang
Thank you Wolfgang!! I was taken away to other work for several days and just got back to this now. Works great! THANKS!
