External figures in section headings
Hello all, I need to have an image as part of my section headings. I've read through an example in the "It's in the details" manual and came up with the following example: \definelayer[chapterstart][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \definelayerpreset[lefttop][corner={left,top},location={right,bottom}] \setlayer[chapterstart][preset=lefttop]{\externalfigure[hacker.jpg]} \setuphead[chapter][before={\setupbackgrounds[page][background=chapterstart]}] \starttext \chapter{First chapter} \chapter{Second chapter} \stoptext This works very well for the first chapter: the picture is inserted behind the text as I want but nothing is inserted behind the second chapter heading. I've been able to add extra details to the setuphead; these are repeated but the picture is not. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? I get the same behaviour whether I use version II or IV. Many thanks in advance, Felix

Hello all,
I need to have an image as part of my section headings. I've read through an example in the "It's in the details" manual and came up with the following example:
\definelayer[chapterstart][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \definelayerpreset[lefttop][corner={left,top},location={right,bottom}] \setlayer[chapterstart][preset=lefttop]{\externalfigure[hacker.jpg]} \setuphead[chapter][before={\setupbackgrounds[page][background=chapterstart]}] \starttext \chapter{First chapter} \chapter{Second chapter} \stoptext
This works very well for the first chapter: the picture is inserted behind the text as I want but nothing is inserted behind the second chapter heading. I've been able to add extra details to the setuphead; these are repeated but the picture is not.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? I get the same behaviour whether I use version II or IV.
\definelayer[chapterstart][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \definelayerpreset[lefttop][corner={left,top},location={right,bottom}] \setlayer[chapterstart][preset=lefttop]{\externalfigure[cow]} \setuphead[chapter][before={% \setlayer[chapterstart][preset=lefttop]{\externalfigure[cow]}% \setupbackgrounds[page][background={chapterstart}]}] \starttext \chapter{First chapter} \chapter{Second chapter} \stoptext (I'm sure that there are other solutions) -- luigi

Works perfectly - many thanks. Felix
