Thanks for the tip, but I've a slightly more complex layout and it might
need a more generalized solution, see:
\definepagebreak
[mychapterpagebreak]
[yes,header,footer,right]
\setuphead
[chapter]
[page=mychapterpagebreak]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location={header,margin}]
\setupheadertexts[{My special headertext}]
\setupfootertexts[This is a text in the footer]
\starttext
\chapter {testA} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte }
\startstandardmakeup \dorecurse{4}{\input tufte }
\stopstandardmakeup
\chapter {testB} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte }
\stoptext
The page after first chapter and before the markup is empty and thus
shouldn't have any headers/footers, but it isn't.

Khaled

Thanks alot, this was very helpfull. (BTW, the mypagebreak part isn't
really needed).
It depends whether you put more than one \chapter in each bodymatter part(s)
or not.

Working for Elvenkind has been a pleasure, but it has always been hard for Elvenkind to find enough commercial projects to employ me in. Even the recent (much appreciated!) funded TeX-development projects simply do not generate enough revenue for Elvenkind to make it viable to keep me as an employee in the current economic climate. This is not the best time to be out of a job, but nevertheless I have decided to try to make the most of it an attempt to make an old dream happen: being my own boss. Hey Taco, Congrats for your daring decisoin! ;O) There's never a right, wrong or best time. Even more today, the day job thing is just an excuse to stay in an illusionary comfort zone. We make our own choices and success. Go for it, don't look back and keep up the good work. All the best and to your success, Alan Since quite some time already I have had a private company called Bittext that I use for various bits and pieces that simply did not fit in with Elvenkind's company strategy (its original intent was to place my font development work in that company, but it has also been used as the company behind organizing the ConTeXt Epen meeting in 2007, for example). For the development of luatex and metapost, I do not expect that much to change compared to the current situation: Hans and I will continue to write funding proposals and we hope that enough of those will be granted so that I can keep that development work going much like it is. (about a 50% commitment working on these two programs in an average working week). However, for ConTeXT and other TeX-related things, the situation is a bit more problematic. Pragma ADE does not have money to fund any projects, even if I managed to find something to excite Hans that he couldn't do faster himself ;). To find the missing source of income, I intend to start giving commercial ConTeXt courses and I plan to start selling manuals via lulu. Perhaps there is a bit of consultancy that can be found as well, and I will try to regain some of my old mathematical typesetting clients. But I fear that even all of that together will generate enough income for me to continue developing modules and offering help for free. Therefore, the planned bib module replacement will be released as commercial software, and support for other ConTeXT stuff (like the current bib module) will become a paid service. Probably via a subscription website, that will (for example) also host my release notes. I am brooding on other ConTeXt module ideas that people may be willing to pay for, and I will finish the font projects that are still on my disk for sale via my website. This April (until around BachoTeX) I will still be busy preparing the luatex and metapost binaries for the TeXlive 2009 deadline, but after that I will likely drop offline for a while, creating the Bittext website ( http://www.bittext.com ) and figuring out things like how to be on the receiving end of Lulu and PayPal. Well, that is about all I wanted to say right now. I am quite apprehensive about how this news will fall in the ConTeXT community, but I see no other way. And I must admit that at the same time I am quite excited about being in control of my own destiny, as they say!

what is better depends on the situation
- for a structured document using \switchtobodyfont is ok
- for special layout elements (headers, title pages, keywords) \definefont
might be handier (esp when funny sizes are used)
- when using \definefont it can be handy to use the symbolic names (Serif,
SansBold etc) and sizes (sa 1.2) because that makes redefinition easier

Which low level command allows to fill in \definefont[SomeFont][SomeSynonym

\setuphead[chapter][style={\switchtobodyfont[myOtherFont,\myOtherFontSize]}]
it depends on what can occur in a title, if there's math and monospaced and
whatever being used mixed, then best use a typeface (apart from the one time
definition it's quite fast to switch a typeface)

Another question is related the following codes from Taco (thank you,

You can test whether the last paragraph had 1 or more lines and make

[NTG-context] slower access to ConTeXt generated pdfs in Windows Vista
When opening ConTeXt generated pdf's in Windows Vista, a message window pops up saying something as (translated to english): - title: preparation of document contents - message: please wait while the contents of your document is being prepared + progress bar page x of total pages This doesn't show up in Windows XP or Linux. The embedded fonts are ttf fonts like arial/tahoma/verdana/times new roman, ...

definitions in memory.

Depends on your document and what do you want.
My question was intended in a generic way, aka if you use
- these features ... expect longer or significant longer compile times, or
- these features ... generate the longest compile times.

At first I didn't understand a thing about your answer, however after
digging a bit further and finding out that when replacing 14pt with 14.4 pt
( re: \showbodyfontenvironment table ) it works again. Guess I now
understand what fallbacksmeans. :O)

from what I understand...
- the location is limited to the text header/footer = what about
margin/edge top/header/footer/bottom ?
You can place text in the header, footer and text area:
\definetext[text for header area][header][...]
\definetext[text for text area] [text] [...]
\definetext[text for footer area][footer][...]
\setuphead
[...]
[header=text for header area,
text=text for text area,

You can also control where the text in this area should appear:
\definetext[text for header area][header][...] % centered text
in the text column
\definetext[text for header area][header][...][...] % left and
right text in the text column
\definetext[text for header area][header][text] [...][...] % left and

\definetext[text for header area][header][margin][...][...] % left and
right margin in the text column
\definetext[text for header area][header][edge] [...][...] % left and
right edge in the text column
- all other arguments are reserved for content = for which content and
where ? if i put
\definetext[chapter][header][chapter page][x1][x2][x3][x4] the chapter
page header is replaced by right page !?
Your setting is ignored because with all seven argument the third one
has to be either text, margin or edge.

Re: [NTG-context] chapter page question
I also would like to be able to choose a different font and/or fontsize
(\switchtobodyfont[...]), style and/or color (\color[...]) for chapter
pages' header area (margin/edge/text) and non-chapter pages.
Hence, I guess... back to my initial question.

Why and for what do you need this information?
To put different text in the margin/edge top/header/... whether a page is
a
chapter page or not.
\setupheadertexts[\doifoddpageelse{right page}{left page}]
\definetext[chapter][header][chapter page]
% The \definetext command works like \setup(header/footer/...)texts and
% has 3–7 arguments, the first argument is a keyword (you can use whatever

[NTG-context] centering fit question
Hello,
In the underneath example, the only way I found to have everything
horizontally and vertically centered in the text and margin header,
as well as fit into the margin header, is as follows:
\setuplayout[margin=3cm]
\showframe
\def\myText{%
% \hfill some text \hfill}
%\starthiding
\framed[%
width=\textwidth,
height=\headerheight,
align=middle,
top=\vss,
bottom=\vss,
frame=off]
{some text}}
%\stophiding
\def\myMarginText{%
% \hfill this is some margin text \hfill}
%\starthiding
\framed[%
width=\marginwidth,
height=\headerheight,
align=middle,
top=\vss,
bottom=\vss,
frame=off]
{this is some longer margin text}}
%\stophiding
\setuppagenumbering[location=footer]
%\setupheader[%
% before=\vss,
% after=\vss]
\setupheadertexts[text]
[\myText]
[\myText]
\setupheadertexts[margin]
[\myMarginText]
[\myMarginText]
\starttext
test
\stoptext
What's the way to get the same result without using \framed
and without making the margin wider ?
Uncommenting what's commented in the code above centers
everything ok, but the margin text doesn't fit.
Thanks.

[NTG-context] replacing words by underlines
Hi,
In the underneath example, how do you get each word replaced by an underline
?
Or, if not possible, underlined word groups with correct underline breaks
for multi-line phrases.
\def\UnderlineA#1%
{\underbars{#1}}
\def\UnderlineB#1%
{\underbars{\phantom{#1}}}
%{\underbar{\phantom{#1}}}
\definetextbackground[underline][%
location=text,
alternative=1,
background=,
frame=off]
\def\UnderlineC{%
\groupedcommand
{\starttextbackground[underline]}
{\stoptextbackground}}
\starttext
Thus, I came to \UnderlineA{the conclusion} that the designer of a new
system \UnderlineA{must not only be the implementer and first} large--scale
user; the designer should also write the first user manual.
Thus, I came to \UnderlineB{the conclusion} that the designer of a new
system \UnderlineB{must not only be the implementer and first} large--scale
user; the designer should also write the first user manual.
Thus, I came to \UnderlineC{the conclusion} that the designer of a new

Re: [NTG-context] line spacing in frame with centered text
Thanks a lot for the clarification Wolfgang.
I guess I was still playing with this kind of major flawed thinking coming
from WYSIWYG wordprocessors where isn't concerned thinking about these
technical aspects (what's underneath), instead type/edit as characters
appear on screen in real time, then when switching to typesetting systems
extrapolate and expect things to work in the same way.
I'll digg into the manuals' corresponding chapters to get more familiar
with these technicalities and let them sink in.

What do you not understand in my example?
From what I understand of it: asked 38pt, output 26.18pt
The 26.18pt are only the height of the sample text, not each character
has the height of the font size which includes the height and depth.
You can see here the output is correct and only characters with large
