Hello again,
it’s that time of year again, when I try to print my calendar and
address book for next year, and last year’s ConTeXt code doesn’t work
any more... (see my mails on imposition and tabulate lines problems).
Anyway; I’d like to get the first and last name on one address book
page into its header. While that didn’t work last year at all (at
least not in combination with imposition), I get "rather" good results
with this code (helpfully donated by someone on this list):
"""
\setupbodyfont [ss,18pt]
\setuplayout[location=middle,marking=on]
\setuppaper
[nx
=
3
,ny
=
1
,dx
=0mm,dy=0mm,topspace=19mm,backspace=10.5mm,page=A7,paper={A4,landscape}]
\setuparranging [XY]
\definemarking[MyNam]
\setupheadertexts[][{\getmarking[MyNam][first]–\getmarking[MyNam]
[last]}]
\def\Name#1{#1\expanded{\marking[MyNam]{#1}}}
\starttext
\startlines
\Name{A}
\Name{B}
\Name{C}
\Name{D}
\Name{E}
\Name{F}
\Name{G}
\Name{H}
\Name{I}
\Name{J}
\Name{K}
\Name{L}

\Name{U}
\Name{V}
\Name{W}
\Name{X}
\Name{Y}
\Name{Z}
\Name{\CONTEXT}
\stoplines
\stoptext
"""
I.e. I put the first letters of every name into the marking register
"MyNam" and fetch its first and last value in the header.
Problem is, I get always the second and second-last name, instead the
first and last one. E.g. if there’s A-I on the first page, header says
B–H.
Best Greetlings!

Marks are somewhat special in the sense that they can be loners or part
of a chain (chapter-section-...) with special reset requirements.
As tex's natural model has some limitations, in mkiv we do things a bit
diffrent (but rather well defined). When a set of marks on a page is
identified, the following keywords can be used:
previous : last before sync
next : first after sync
top : first in sync
bottom : last in sync
first : first not top in sync
last : last not bottom in sync
so, you need to use 'top' and 'bottom'. When the chain is to be ignored,
one can append ":nocheck" to the keyword. There's also a 'current' method.
