Hi all, shouldn't this work? I get no content for the marking: \starttext \startchapter[title={Hello World},marking={A}] Test \getmarking[chapter] \stopchapter \stoptext All best Thomas

Marks aren’t the right tool for this because they are meant for text which goes into the header and footer after the page is finished. There is another mechanism which does what you want. \setupheadertexts[chapter] \define[2]\ChapterCommand {\vbox\bgroup\starttabulate \NC Title \EQ \structurevariable{title} \NC\NR \NC Marking \EQ \structurevariable{marking} \NC\NR \stoptabulate\egroup} \setuphead[chapter][command=\ChapterCommand] \starttext \startchapter[title={Hello World},marking={A}] \starttabulate \NC Title \EQ \namedstructurevariable{chapter}{title} \NC\NR \NC Marking \EQ \namedstructurevariable{chapter}{marking} \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stopchapter \stoptext Wolfgang

Thank you, Wolfgang! The example was maybe too minimal - what I'm looking for is for an xml conversion; I want to define a command that will do different things depending on the chapter it is in, so I thought \getmarking was the way to go (with a \doifelse test). But \namedstructurevariable is as well. Thanks Thomas -- Prof. Dr. Thomas A.

Hi Wolfgang, may I ask two additional questions? 1. From what I see on dev-context, there's a problem right now, so it may be better to wait a bit with these commands. Correct? 2. What would be the equivalent in lua? I'm looking for something like this: function chaptertest(s) if chapter.structurevariable == "A" then context(s) context(" is in chapter A!") else context(s) context(" is in a different chapter!") end end Is this possible? What would be the correct call for my pseudo-code chapter.structurevariable (could be either to the chaptermark or to the chapter title, I just need something to test against). Thanks a lot Thomas

Hi Wolfgang,

If you only need the current section at the position where the test occurs, then you can try the following (beware this might not be canonical). ····· chaptertest.lua ·················································· local context = context local check_structure = function (s) context(s) local current = structures.sections.current() if current.userdata and current.userdata.location == "A" then context" is in chapter A" else context" is elsewhere." end end commands.checkstructure = function (s) check_structure(s) end ········································································ ····· chaptertest.tex ·················································· \ctxloadluafile{chaptertest} \unprotect \def\lookup#1{\ctxcommand{checkstructure\!!bs#1\!!es}} \protect \starttext \startchapter[title=foo] [location=A] \lookup{My dear something}\par \input knuth \stopchapter \startchapter[title=bar] [location=B] \lookup{My dear something}\par \input knuth \stopchapter \stoptext ········································································ For more info about the local structure you might want to have a look at table.print(structures.sections.current()) Regards Philipp
Is this possible? What would be the correct call for my pseudo-code chapter.structurevariable (could be either to the chaptermark or to the chapter title, I just need something to test against).
Thanks a lot

Many thanks, Philipp, your example and this hint are very useful - I will play around with this! We'll see if this is canonical... All best Thomas
