Header design

Header design

[Alexander Lazic]

Hi,

i have now try to setup the CD pagedesign.

Please can anyone help me to find a solution for this setup ;-)

What i need is:

Title_of_the_document | section

on the left hand side in the header. I have found a solution for the
headerrule but for the text ...

I have added my solution on the bottom of this mail what i have also
tryed:

\setupheadertexts[text][{Title | \getmarking[chapter]}]

from:

http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2003/003438.html

which don't work because i get the following error:

---
! Argument of \next has an extra }.
<inserted text> 
                \par 
<to be read again> 
                   }
\doattributes ...name #1#2\@EA \endcsname \fi {#4}
                                                  \dostopattributes

                                                  \@@nmpos {\getvalue {\??tk...

             {sec2}

Here know my texfile:
---
\setuppapersize [A4][A4]
\setupcolors[state=start]

\setuppagenumbering[location={footer,right}]
\setupheadertexts[][section]

% Solution from http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20050515.201803.67299570.html
\setupthinrules[color=red,height=1mm]
\setupheader[text][after=\thinrule]
  
\starttext
\section{sec1}
\page
\section{sec2}
\stoptext
---

At least on my computer (Mac+TeXshop) the above solution works fine - 
once you realize that a pipe character doesn't work if typed straight!
So the code in itself is correct, but you've included a character that 
has a special meaning to ConTeXt and that's why it doesn't understand you.

If you really need the pipe, I got this one to work - I don't know if 
there's a more elegant solution to the problem:

\setupheadertexts[text][{Title \type{|}  \getmarking[section]}]

(BTW, if you don't want any text on the left side of the header, do
\setupheadertexts[][{Title \type{|}  \getmarking[section]}]
instead, now it really says 'text' in the left edge of the header...)


Been there, done that - had to learn this pipe thingy the hard way, too.
