The name of the current section?

The name of the current section?

[Michal Kvasnicka]

Good evening.

Is there some command simmilar to \headnumber[section] that would tell 
me the name of the current chapter/section/...?

I want to have the headertext on the left like this:
    [pagenumber] [chapter title] (chap. [chapter number])
and on the right side like this:
    [section title] (sec. [section number]) [pagenumber]
where [x] is value of x, e.g. [pagenumber] is the number of the current 
page.

How can I do it?

Many thanks
Michal Kvasnicka

Hi,

Humble, I thought that your layout kan be setup with

\setupheadertexts[location][left text][right text][left .][right .]

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\usetypescript[palatino][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,rm,12pt]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,
    location={header,marginedge}]
\setupheadertexts
    [section][{\headnumber[section]}][chapter][{\headnumber[chapter]}]

%leftpage: [pagenumber] [chapter title] (chap. [chapter number])
%rightpage: [section title] (sec. [section number]) [pagenumber]

\starttext
\chapter{Cheese}
\section{Parmiggiano Reggiano}
\blank[15cm]
\section{Grana Padano}
\blank[15cm]
\section{Gruy\`ere}
\blank[15cm]
\section{Tilsiter}
\blank[15cm]
\section{Appenzeller}
\chapter{Wine}
\section{Cabernet Sauvignon}
\blank[15cm]
\section{Pinot noir}
\blank[15cm]
\section{M\"uller-Thurgau}
\blank[15cm]
\section{Chasselat}
\stoptext

Hi.

Many thanks for your kind answer.

Your code is rather nice (I have learned one nice trick from it), but it 
doesn't what I need. I want all the header stuff to go just separated by 
spaces, not on different sides of the header. Something like this
    
117_This_is_an_chapter_name_(chap._5)___________________________________________________________________
where "_" stands for a space.

Well, with your trick I could possibly to it with some \hfill, but it's 
a rather tricky solution. Moreover, I may need the name of a current 
chapter and section in the document itself. I guess there must be some 
system solution for such a case in the ConTeXt (I think there is almost 
everything in it.) :-)

Of course, as the last instance I can redefine \chapter and \section in 
a way like this
    \let\OriChapter=\chapter
    \def\chapter#1{\def\currentchaptername{#1}\chapter{#1}}
but I don't want to do it -- it is dirty and involves more programming 
to cover crossreferences.

Any more hint how to get the name of current chapter/section?

With best regards
Michal Kvasnicka

I found this in one of my old docs. Is that what you want?

\setupheadertexts
    [{\headnumber[section]\quad\getmarking[section][current]}]
    []
    []
    [{Chapter \headnumber[chapter]:\quad\getmarking[chapter][current]}]

Dear Mikael.

Many thanks. Your solution

is precisely what I searched for. Many thanks once more.
