I made a marking from each entry in the dictionary and its works, but there is a problem because the entry printed is the second, not the first.

See the example at http://texshow.contextgarden.net/cmd/en/ getmarking and use the correct option: [first] [last] [previous] [both] [all] [current] (I usually get it right after a couple of experiments ;-)

I tried something similar for my addressbook, but it doesn't work: \definemarking[MNam] \setupheadertexts[][{\getmarking[MNam][first]--\getmarking[MNam][last]}] \def\Name#1{\bf #1\marking[MNam]{\FirstNCharacters{4}{#1}}} (following lots of lines with \Name{Somebody}) There's no output besides "–" in the header.

Since you haven't sent a complete example this is not tested.

Sorry. It works in an minimal example, now I must find out, why it doesn't in my real case... One small error remains: I get "Aaaa– Bbbb" instead of "Aaaa–Bbbb" (a space before the second name). Where does it come from? Example (don't know how to generate random names...): \starttext \definemarking[MNam] \setupheadertexts[][{\getmarking[MNam][first]–\getmarking[MNam][last]}] \def\Name#1{\bf #1\expanded{\marking[MNam]{\FirstNCharacters{4}{#1}}}} \starttabulate \dorecurse{200}{\NC \Name{Eins \recurselevel} \NC Zwei \NC Drei \NC\NR \HL} \stoptabulate \stoptext Greetlings from Lake Constance!

hello all I think I need that each entry paragraph keep toghether in the same page because if a paragraph break across two pages it confuses first an previous marking. I tried with \startframedtext...\stoptframedtext but doenst work well with marking (is this correct?) How can I keep a paragraph together in a page? I forget to say tham I'm using columns.

I don't know why but i'm not receiving this list mails. I'm reading the mails in gname. But, back to the dictionary, I use the example in texshow, as Jelle (thankyou very much) told me. "previous" is the right option when the entry is the first in that page, but "first" is the right option when the first lines in the page are part of a previous entry that starts in a previous page so, I dont know what to do. I hope I've explain myself, thankyou in advance. -------------------- Horacio Suarez Editorial Antropofagia www.eantropofagia.com.ar From: horaciosuarez@hotmail.com To: ntg-context@ntg.nl Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2009 03:45:22 +0000 Subject: Re: [NTG-context] dictionary hello all Hans, thankyou very much, I see you answer in gname, but I didnt received that mail yet.
