I want to have chapter names in the header text and I want them in boldface.

How about: \setupheader[text][style=bold] \setupheadertexts[text][My book][chapter]

or alternatively, \setupheadertexts[text][{\bf My book}][{\it \getmarking[chapter]}]

Well, I am almost home! My customer now prefers Small Caps letterspaced rather than bold. So I used example two above and an earlier post from Bill McClain to come up with this combination:

%First, the macros for extended (letterspaced) text:

\def\CapStretchAmount{.18em} \def\CapStretch#1{\def\stretchedspaceamount{\CapStretchAmount} \stretchednormalcase{#1}}

%Then the header text macro:

\setupheadertexts[text][][{\sc \getmarking[chapter]}][{\CapStretch{\sc The Health Seeker's Handbook}}][]

Out of this melange I get small caps extended for the book title on the verso header. But I can't seem to find the combination for both \CapStretch and \getmarking on the recto header. Any attempt to insert \CapStretch on that side converts the chapter name back to the literal word "chapter". I have tried brackets, curly braces etc. in various combinations.

Any hints appreciated.
