[NTG-context] \getmarking for top at the current page

[Biblio--- via ntg-context <ntg-context@ntg.nl>]

Dear list,

I've got a problem. Not the first one, but the first one to contribute to the list. ;)

I'd like to write the marking of the very first text at the current page to the header. That seems to be a bit tricky, at least for me. (I'm afraid that \getmarking[xxx][top] was intended for that and it is not feasible at all.)

At page 1 the header should read "secA", at page 2 again "secA" (because the very first text belongs to "secA"), and at page 3 "secC" (because the very first text (the section title) belongs to "secC"). Unfortunatly \getmarking[][] does not behave like I expacted.

I understand the keywords of \getmarking in the wiki (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/getmarking) as listed below:
• previous: marking at the bottom of the page BEFORE the current page (no page before then empty)
• next: marking at the top of the page AFTER the current page (no page after then bottom of current page)

• top: marking at the top of the current page
• bottom: marking at the bottom of the current page

• first: first marking that starts at the current page (no first than behaving like top)
• last: last marking that starts at the current page (no last than behaving like bottom)

• current: last stored marking while deciding on pagebreaking between the current page and the (potential) following page
• default: first

According to these thoughts, I started with \getmarking[Datum][top]. But "top" seems not to work, there is no difference between "top" and "first", "top" behaves like "first".

My second thought: Generally \getmarking[Datum][first] would be perfect, so I've thought something like

    \doifelse{\fetchmark[Datum][next] of the page before the current page}{\fetchmark[Datum][previous]}
      {\getmarking[Datum][previous]}
      {\getmarking[Datum][first]}

could work. (Honestly I don't know how to do "\fetchmark[Datum][next] of the page before the current page}". The first page would need a special treatment too.)

But: At page 2 \getmarking[Datum][next] (Nx) contains "secB" but at top of page 3 is not "secB" but "secC". So \getmarking[Datum][next] does not seem to contain the correct information I need, therefore I don't get any further.


Any ideas: How do I write the marking of the very first text at the current page to the header?


Thank you in advance, Matthias
