You can separate the appendices by a section block. For example % appendix is already a section block. By default, a section % block starts a new page, you may not want that in a journal \setupsectionblock[appendix][page=] % Change the conversion for sections in appendices. \setupsection [section-3] [appendixconversion=Romannumerals] \starttext \section{Test} \startappendices \section{An Appendix} \stopappendices \stoptext > 2.

What can I do about > this? You need not redrive \Author from section. You can use use totally different markings, as shown below. % Define your own marking. \definemarking[Papertitle] \definemarking[Author] % Set that marking. \marking[Papertitle]{This is a \CONTEXT\ example} \marking[Author]{Aditya Mahajan} % Allow ConTeXt to do the rest :-) \setupheadertexts[Papertitle][Author] \starttext test \stoptext HTH, Aditya _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
