hello all

I'm typesetting a dictionary and I need to  display the first entry of each page in every page header, as usual in any dictionary.

Is it possible to do it automatically? where can I look for it? please give me a clue. Thankyou in advance.

hello all

Hans, thankyou very much, I see you answer in gname, but I didnt received that mail yet.

I made a marking from each entry in the dictionary and its works, but there is a problem because the entry printed is the second, not the first.

magic words usually needs a magician!

thankyou very much

See the example at http://texshow.contextgarden.net/cmd/en/getmarking 
and use the correct option: [first] [last] [previous] [both] [all] 
[current] (I usually get it right after a couple of experiments ;-)
HTH,

I tried something similar for my addressbook, but it doesn't work:

\definemarking[MNam]

\setupheadertexts[][{\getmarking[MNam][first]--\getmarking[MNam][last]}]

\def\Name#1{\bf #1\marking[MNam]{\FirstNCharacters{4}{#1}}}

(following lots of lines with \Name{Somebody})

There's no output besides "–" in the header.

\define[1]\Name{{\bf#1\expanded{\marking[MNam]{...}}}

Since you haven't sent a complete example this is not tested.

hello all again.

I don't know why but i'm not receiving this list mails. I'm reading the mails in gname.

But, back to the dictionary, I use the example in texshow, as Jelle (thankyou very much) told me.

"previous" is the right option when the entry is the first in that page, but 

"first" is the right option when the first lines in the page are part of a previous entry that starts in a previous page

so, I dont know what to do.

I hope I've explain myself, thankyou in advance.

Sorry. It works in an minimal example, now I must find out, why it  
doesn't in my real case...

One small error remains: I get "Aaaa– Bbbb" instead of "Aaaa–Bbbb" (a  
space before the second name). Where does it come from?

Example (don't know how to generate random names...):

\starttext

\definemarking[MNam]
\setupheadertexts[][{\getmarking[MNam][first]–\getmarking[MNam][last]}]
\def\Name#1{\bf #1\expanded{\marking[MNam]{\FirstNCharacters{4}{#1}}}}

\starttabulate
\dorecurse{200}{\NC \Name{Eins \recurselevel} \NC Zwei \NC Drei \NC\NR 
\HL}
\stoptabulate

\stoptext

hello all

I think I need that each entry paragraph keep toghether in the same page because if a paragraph break across two pages it confuses first an previous marking.

I tried with \startframedtext...\stoptframedtext but doenst work well with marking (is this correct?)

How can I keep a paragraph together in a page? I forget to say tham I'm using columns.

Thankyou very much.
