Hello,
I have a document with ~30 chapters, one for each date of a certain day that
changes from year to year.
So I wanted to put the list of dates at the top of the document, where I can
locate and update them easily,
and process the list using a little Lua, like so:
\setupheadertexts[\getmarking[section]]
\def \day{\ctxlua{tex.print(classdates[i]) i=i+1}}
%\def\day{}
\ctxlua
{ classdates = {"May 12", "May 13", "May 14", "May 15"}
i=1}
\completecontent
\starttext
\section{Math (\day)}
\section{More Math (\day)}
\section{The End (\day)}
\stoptext
Unfortunately, the Lua code is already processed for the table of contents, so
I ran out of dates in the \section commands.
A simple hack could be to let Lua go through the list twice — but this doesn’t
help, as I am also using the name of a section in the header, where the counter
is being increased
an undetermined number of times, once for each new page.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks,
Matthias
