fancyhdr equivalent

fancyhdr equivalent

[Peter I. Hansen]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 400 bytes --]

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?

Thanks, Peter

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]

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

\starttext

\dorecurse{4}
  {\chapter{Knuth}
   \dorecurse{12}

\stoptext

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

Hi Peter,

you can use my module wolf-txt to come closer to the LaTeX.

It provides left, middle and right keys for the headertexts.

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

\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.

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.
