My last question! :-) I would like to have the various ‘parts’ of a book marked with black rectangles at the right side of each page, visible when the reader flips through the pages. I googled successfully to find ‘fancyhdr’, but that’s a LaTeX package, so I don’t think it will work in ConTeXt. If it’s not too difficult in ConTeXt, can anyone share the secret? thanks!

Perhaps you find out looking at the code in http://contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_info_style (there are nav tabs at the bottom). Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net

Thanks - I’m looking at it. It looks fairly advanced though :-) (I’ve only been using ConTeXt for a few days...). How are you making a chapter (say) show a mark depending on its number?

Sorry, I'm not that deep in ConTeXt myself, the code is mostly by Hans. I hope someone other can help you. Perhaps describe a bit more exactly what you'd like to achieve. As far as I understood: You want a black rectangle at the margin that has no text in it, always same size, but moving position per chapter?

Awesome (and scary) stuff. Works great, too.
