Hello,

I would like to put the \chapter and \section names, including their
respected numbers, in the header of my document, in small script and
separated from the main text by a horizontal line, the width of
\textwidth. On uneven pages the chapter-names, on even pages the
section names. Reading the manual (4.16 Headers and Footers), I
thought this should work:

\setuppagenumbering[start=start,alternative=doublesided,location=]
\setupheader[][style=small,after=\hrule]
\setupheadertexts[section][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter]

Problems: 1) the mark "chapter" does not work. The section title
appears but not the chapter title.
2) The chapter-number and the section-number don't appear in the header.
3) \hrule draws a line from the very left to the very right of the page.

My Questions: i) What is the "mark-mechanism" that is mentioned in the
manual (couldn't find any information about that).
ii) Why does chapter not work?
iii) \hrule is probably not the best command here?

I found the following somewhere in the web:

\setupheadertexts[{\tfx\fetchmark[section][first]}][][][{\tfx\fetchmark[chapter][current]}]

which gives me indeed the chapter-name.  Why "current" instead of
"first"? What do I have to add to get the numbers?

Thank you for your help!

Thomas

PS. I am using mkii, I belive, (texexec ...)
