Hi all,
I’m trying to setup a book layout where each chapter begins with a quote and an image on the left page, followed by title and text start on the right page.
While the quote & image thing works, I can’t get the title on the right page, ConTeXt always puts it right of the image, even if that’s as wide as the text width. \page[right] doesn’t do anything.
Where’s my mistake?
There are also chapters without that intro, therefore I use \doifnot{\structureuservariable{subtitle}}, but those should also start on a right page. I could also use a different section name. But I don’t think that’s the problem.
(The page number should appear on the right page; it wouldn’t hurt on the left page, but the chapter title should only appear on following pages.)
Best, Hraban

I set page numbers in a separate overlay to better control the positioning. Perhaps a bit overthought, but it works for me ... Here’s my approach. Right/left stuff and placement is good, but I get always the extra contents of the previous chapter, i.e. “Another Fancy Story” gets the subtitle/quote from “My Fancy Story”, while “My Fancy Story” doesn’t show anything. Is that why you used buffers? Since I only need two user settings (image name and quote), only one in the example, I’d like to avoid a buffer for every chapter. \startsetups FancyChapter \setupheadertexts[][][][] \doifnot{\structureuservariable{subtitle}}{}{ \doifoddpageelse {\page[left]} {\donothing} {\definedfont[SerifItalic at 16pt]\structureuservariable{subtitle}\par} \externalfigure[dummy][width=\textwidth] } \page[right] \stopsetups \setupheadertexts[][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] \setuphead[chapter][ page=yes, before={\directsetup{FancyChapter}}, ] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \completecontent \startchapter[title={My Normal Text}] \input knuth \stopchapter \startchapter[title={My Fancy Story}] [subtitle={\quotation{I thought that was real.}}] \input tufte \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Another Fancy Story}] [subtitle={\quotation{Never mind the bollocks.}}] \input zapf \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Another Normal Text}] \input knuth \stopchapter \stoptext Best, Hraban ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I would really like to set those quotes and image names in the chapter command. Finally I used the after parameter and needed to define different section commands for chapters with and without epigraph (i.e. starting on a left or right page). When I had that distinction and the \page command in my setup, the header text changed too early.
