Hi,

found an old thread in the list archives, Adam Warner and Hans, but there was no real conclusion. Can this be done in ConTeXt? I want the following setup for my headers: mirror doublesided, on the even pages pagenumber leftaligned, chaptertitle midaligned; odd pages sectiontitle midaligned, pagenumber rightaligned; like so:

9______chapter______ || ______section______10

If I am not completely mistaken, setupheadertexts takes either one argument (identical header fo all pages, midaligned) or two (identical header for all pages, rightaligned/leftaligned) or four (mirroring even/odd headers, rightaligned/leftaligned). I think what we need here would be for \setupheadertexts to accept SIX arguments:

\setupheadertexts[even left][even middle][even right][odd left][odd middle][odd right]

this is the readable way: \showframe \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesiddd] \setupheadertexts[] \setupheadertexts[\setups{text a}][][][\setups{text b}] \startsetups[text a] \rlap{\pagenumber} \hfill \getmarking[chapter] \hfill \llap{whatever} \stopsetups \startsetups[text b] \rlap{whatever} \hfill \getmarking[section] \hfill \llap{\pagenumber} \stopsetups \starttext \chapter{test chapter} \page \section{test section} \stoptext (it's up to you to submit it into the wiki) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
