\setupheadertexts

\setupheadertexts

[John Culleton]

I want to have chapter names in the header text and I want them in boldface. 
This works:

\setupheadertexts[text][{\bf My book}][chapter]

but this:
\setupheadertexts[text][{\bf my book}][\bf chapter]
 just shows the literal word "chapter". 

So how do I do this?

How about:
  \setupheader[text][style=bold]
  \setupheadertexts[text][My book][chapter]

or alternatively,
  \setupheadertexts[text][{\bf My book}][{\it \getmarking[chapter]}]

Well, I am almost home! My customer now prefers Small Caps letterspaced 
rather than  bold.  So I used example two above and an earlier post 
from Bill McClain to come up with this combination:

%First, the macros for extended (letterspaced) text:

\def\CapStretchAmount{.18em}
\def\CapStretch#1{\def\stretchedspaceamount{\CapStretchAmount}
\stretchednormalcase{#1}}

%Then the header text macro:

\setupheadertexts[text][][{\sc \getmarking[chapter]}][{\CapStretch{\sc 
The Health Seeker's Handbook}}][]

Out of  this melange I get small caps extended for the book title on the 
verso header.  But I can't seem to find the combination for both 
\CapStretch and \getmarking on the recto header.  Any attempt to insert 
\CapStretch on that side converts the chapter name back to the literal 
word "chapter".  I have tried brackets, curly braces etc. in various 
combinations.

Any hints appreciated.
