> For what it is worth, here is how I address this. This lets me place epigraphs on the facing verso of a chapter, or under the section title, and set lettrines and first line treatment for chapters. 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
