Hi John,
Humble, if I understand your question correctly then for me the
following works:
\setupheadertexts[\hfill
{\getmarking[section][last]}\hfill][pagenumber][pagenumber][\hfill Even
page text\hfill]
\setuppagenumbering[location=, alternative=doublesided]
\starttext
\dorecurse{20}{\input knuth\blank[1cm]}
\stoptext
I have to admit that there might something be broken. If I compile the
sample I get the wrong sectionnumber in the header. i.e. the section
number of the first section on the next page is given. If I use [first]
instead of last, the first sectionnumber should be given, but in this
sample still the section number of the first section of the following
page is given.
Hans may be you could have a look into this matter? - Or am I doing
wrong things?
Cheers
Willi
