Hm, I dont' understand clearly what you want (the title is ok for me), […]

The headertext isn’t broken into lines. \defineframed[headerframed][frame=off,width=max,align=normal] \setupheadertexts [][\headerframed{\getmarking[section]}] [][] A better solution is to provide a shorter text with the “marking” key from \startsection. Wolfgang

ah now I see -- the headertext .

Hm, you can try a temp. patch

\showframe \setupheadertexts[][\vbox{\hsize=0.45\textwidth\getmarking[section]}][][]

Or use a customized frame: \defineframed[headerframed][frame=off,width=.45\textwidth,align=normal,offset=0pt,location=bottom] \setupheadertexts [][\headerframed{\getmarking[section]}] [][]

There is a macro to make a shortert title, but a shorter text with the “marking” key from \startsection is better, of course

No need for a macro, it’s available as a option for \setupheader. \setupheader[width=6cm] \setupheadertexts [][section] [][] Wolfgang
