Thanks for the reply, Hans. Here is my situation: Every part of my document has to have a security classification (U, C, or S, the highest). The highest classification of a part on a page determines what goes in the page header and footer. If a paragraph splits so part is on the next page, its classification needs to be considered in the header/footer determination for the next page. So I need to know if: 1. There is a fragment of a previous marked section at the top of a page. If so, what is its classification (this may be done with the counters described below). 2. Determine the highest classification on the page. 3. Produce the heading/footer accordingly. My idea (from secret.sty) is to define a marking command for each part which will modify one of a set of four (or six depending on how (1) is implemented) counters depending on the mark's value (classification). The output command will determine the approriate header/footer from inspecting the counters, then reset the counters for the next page. ANother quesion, if ConTeXt can do this, should I install the whole package or just the minimal one (I run teTeX under Fedora Linux). Tom
