Indeed in the example it is stated header=empty, however in no case I get the header with text. In the meantime I chose another approach: \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setuplayout [header=0pt] \starttext \start \setuphead[chapter][page=no] \midaligned{\bf TEXT before chapter title} \startchapter[title=test] \input knuth \stopchapter \stop \startchapter[title=Normal chapter start] \input knuth \stopchapter \stoptext Thanks for looking at this! Kind regards Willi

Dear list!

I have a book, in which I should repeat the title of the book on top of the first chapter title. - I thought that should be solvable with playing with the headertexts. However it seems, that it is not possible to force ConTeXt to place the headertexts-contents for a chapter, yes it displays the header space (header=empty} or removes the header space (header=high) in \setuphead[chapter].

MWE: \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setuplayout [header=40pt, headerdistance=10pt] \setupheader [state=normal] \setupheadertexts [Why not visible?][][][] \setuphead [chapter] [header=empty] \setupbackgrounds [header] [frame=on]

\starttext \input ward

\page

\startchapter[title=test] \input knuth \page \input ward \stopchapter \stoptext

Hints would be welcome!

because you say

header=empty

Willi Egger 5. Juni 2016 um 20:30 Indeed in the example it is stated header=empty, however in no case I get the header with text. You set different texts for left/right pages with no text for even numbered pages which you now get in your example.

\setupheadertexts[Why not visible?][][][]
