setup of headers

setup of headers

[Thomas A.Schmitz]

Hi,

found an old thread in the list archives, Adam Warner and Hans, but 
there was no real conclusion. Can this be done in ConTeXt? I want the 
following setup for my headers: mirror doublesided, on the even pages 
pagenumber leftaligned, chaptertitle midaligned; odd pages sectiontitle 
midaligned, pagenumber rightaligned; like so:

9______chapter______   ||  ______section______10

If I am not completely mistaken, setupheadertexts takes either one 
argument (identical header fo all pages, midaligned) or two (identical 
header for all pages, rightaligned/leftaligned) or four (mirroring 
even/odd headers, rightaligned/leftaligned). I think what we need here 
would be for \setupheadertexts to accept SIX arguments:

\setupheadertexts[even left][even middle][even right][odd left][odd 
middle][odd right]

Or is there another way to do this, and I'm just too stupid to see it?

Best

Thomas

this is the readable way:

\showframe

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesiddd]

\setupheadertexts[]
\setupheadertexts[\setups{text a}][][][\setups{text b}]

\startsetups[text a]
   \rlap{\pagenumber}
   \hfill
   \getmarking[chapter]
   \hfill
   \llap{whatever}
\stopsetups

\startsetups[text b]
   \rlap{whatever}
   \hfill
   \getmarking[section]
   \hfill
   \llap{\pagenumber}
\stopsetups

\starttext

\chapter{test chapter} \page \section{test section}

\stoptext

(it's up to you to submit it into the wiki)

Hans,

thanks a lot, works wonderfully! I'll see that I actually understand 
your code and will then submit it to the wiki.
