Hello

Just getting started with ConTeXt, and liking it so far :)

However, I would like to use something similar to the LaTeX 'fancyhdr' package. I've been poking around trying to find such a thing and the closest I could get is:

http://osdir.com/ml/tex.context/2001-10/msg00094.html

I can't find it in the manual, so if it is built in maybe one of you guys can tell how to use it?

Look at Section 4.17 of ConTeXt manual http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/cont-enp.pdf

What I would like to do is for example to frame the headertext, and I tried with eg. \setupheadertexts [chapter][pagenumber] \setupheader [style=\inframed] But this creates a framed chapter text and a framed pagenumber. How do I put both in one frame?

\setupbackgrounds [header][text][frame=on]

To get a decent visual effect, you need to set the header height to be something reasonable, for example

\setuplayout[header=2\lineheight]

Thanks, this works for me. One thing though, I would like to turn the framing off on pages where a chapter begins. I tried \setuphead[chapter][header=empty], but this just gives me an empty frame. Is there a way to selectively turn of backgounds on for example chapter pages?

\setuphead [chapter] [%before={\blank[force,\dimexpr\headerheight+\headerdistance\relax]}, header=high]

And incase you only want to get rid of the frame: \setupbackgrounds[state=repeat] \setupbackgrounds[header][text][background=whatever] \defineoverlay[whatever][{\framed[width=\overlaywidth,height=\overlayheight]{}}] \couplepage[chapter][before={\defineoverlay[whatever][]}] \setuphead[chapter][before={\pagetype[chapter]}] \starttext \chapter{First} \page test \chapter{second} \page test Aditya

Beautifull. One problem arise, if you put a \placecontent after \starttext the first chapter will stil have the frame on.

do you mean \starttext \placecontent \chapter{Knuth} \stoptext I see only a frame on the first page with the table of contents and this normal because there is no chapter on this page. use \completecontent and not \placecontent if this is not what you mean send a example Wolfgang

2007/7/2, Peter I. Hansen :

\completecontent seems to solve my problem so far... To see what my problem was try out the following example:

\setuplayout [location=middle, header=\lineheight, headerdistance=\lineheight]

\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location=]

\setupheadertexts [section][pagenumber] [pagenumber][chapter]

\setuphead [chapter] [%before={\talkingk[force,\dimexpr\headerheight+\headerdistance\relax]}, header=high]

\setupbackgrounds [header][text][frame=off,bottomframe=on]

\starttext

\placecontent %\completecontent

\dorecurse{3} {\chapter{Test} \dorecurse{250}{talking talking talking } }

\stoptext

I see a rule on page 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8, no rules are on page 3, 5 and 7. All of them are correct and what I expect from your setups. I am correct you don't want the rule on the first page. Wolfgang

Actually, if I add something before the content, eg. \subject{Preface}\page[yes] then things go bad again... There is something about this I can't grasp.

Can you send the pdf file and explain what is wrong in the output Wolfgang
