Re: [NTG-context] \setupheadertexts for chapters with different authors
Sorry, of course I meant swap 'chapter' with \setups{contributor}

Re: [NTG-context] \setupheadertexts for chapters with different authors
I might need a little more help just to understand how best to adapt
this to my situation:
One thing is clear: I was attempting to use a 'list' variable, and I can
see why that was an error, since it is headertexts, not TOC that I want
to influence.
But let me simplify my situation:
You seem to suggest initially that I could use \structureuservariable
(or \structurevariable) instead, especially since I already have a
variable to call on, e.g \startchapter[title={My title}][author={A.
uthor}]. But in the example you then gave, you made no use of either of
these.
My current setting is:
\setupheadertexts [{\hfill\getmarking[chapter]\hfill}][]
[{\hfill\documentvariable{metadata:title}\hfill}][]
which gives me the book title centred on verso pages, and the chapter
title centred on recto pages. All I want to do is to have the chapter
contributors' name for each chapter instead of the chapter title.
So why can't I create a setups along the lines of:
\startsetups[contributor] \getmarking[\structureuservariable{author}]
\stopsetups
Then just swap 'chapter' in \setupheadertexts, with 'contributor'? I
tried it but it doesn't work. I thought it would be logical. Clearly I'm
wrong but don't appreciate why.

There’s also \structurevariable and \structureuservariable.
Make sure you use setups for the header, otherwise the variable gets
expanded only once at the beginning.
Like in:
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setupheadertexts[] % empty
\setupheadertexts[\setups{text right}][][][\setups{text left}]
\startsetups[text right]
\rlap{\pagenumber}
\hfill
\getmarking[chapter]
\hfill
\llap{Un Nom}
\stopsetups
\startsetups[text left]
\rlap{Una Person}
\hfill
\getmarking[section]
\hfill
\llap{\pagenumber}
\stopsetups ___

[NTG-context] Metafun, difficulty with graphical element in the margin
Good evening! I have a dictionary where I would like to include thumb-pictures in the margin. — When I use the attached code with a single \startchapter...\stopchapter, it works. However if I add another \startchapter…\stopchapter before loading the setups for the thumb-picture metafun throws an error about not having complete information for performing a transformation. I am currently using the before last version of LMTX-ConTeXT (January 21st 2022). Could someone try to compile?
