Getting a Header Line to Start from Left Margin

Getting a Header Line to Start from Left Margin

Hi All,

I have a chapter heading text starting in the left margin and a hairline
below my header texts spanning the full width of the header. Since the
chapter begins in the left margin, there is no line on top of the chapter
heading text in the margin. How can I get the line to also start in the
margin where the chapter heading text begins?

Thanks
Emmanuel

Honestly, I had to read your post three times to understand what you
want to achieve.

\setuplayout [leftmargindistance=0pt]
\setupbackgrounds [header] [leftmargin,text] [bottomframe=on]

I'd like  to know,  if there's  a simple solution  (I would  write a
MetaPost three-liner  for this) without touching  the leftmargindis-
tance.

Regards

Marco

You could consider setting up a layer, filling the layer with the line (your three-liner in Metapost) and flush it in the headertext setup
