New subject: placing headings (solution on wiki)

9 Nov 2005

      Hi gang,

Ok, I figured out a solution and have posted it here (bottom of page):

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Headers_and_Footers

I have never edited the wiki before so I hope the maintainer will check to 
make sure I did not do something wrong-) If there is a way to improve my 
solution please let me know!

I think this is a nice sample file...

================================================
Dear gang,

I am having difficulties with heading placement. Consider the following sample
file:

=================headings.tex==================
% output=pdf interface=en

\setuppapersize [A5][A4]

\setuplayout[width=middle,
             height=middle,
             footer=3\bodyfontsize,
             header=0pt,
             headerdistance=\bodyfontsize,
             bottom=3\bodyfontsize,
             location={middle,doublesided},
             marking=on]

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,
                    location={footer,middle}]

\setupbottomtexts[pagenumber]
\setupbottom[style=\tf,state=high]

\setupfootertexts%
[][section][chapter][]
\setupfooter[style=\tf,
               state=high]

\setuptexttexts%
[margin][][section][chapter][]
\setuptext[style=\tf,
               state=high]

\setupinmargin[align=inner,
               style=\tfx\setupinterlinespace]

\showframe

\starttext

\chapter{Ch. Knuth Knuth}

\section{Sec. Knuth Knuth}
\dorecurse{20}{\input knuth\par\ }

\stoptext
===============================================

This file should compile fine.

Problem 1:

I would like the headings in the footer to be flush with the top of the footer
space instead of at the bottom;

Problem 2:

After making the footer headings flush with the top of the footer space, I
would now like to mid-align the headings so each is just above the page number
in the footer space (I thought this would be trivial but it's apparently not);

Problem 3:

I would like to have marginal headings: how do I

i) keep the headings boxed within the margin width;

ii) raise (or lower) the box containing the margin headings?

Thnx in advance for helping me solve these problems!
