[NTG-context] Dynamic Elements on Layer

2007-01-14 Thread Helin Gai 
Hi,

I'm still trying to place my running heads into the margin, 5 cm away
from the top. My new attempt is to use layer:

\definelayer[colin][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight,x=0mm,y=0mm]
\setlayer[colin][x=5cm,y=3cm]{\framed{\getmarking[chapter][current]}}
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=colin]

But it doesn't seem to work either. Does anyone know why it is?
Many thanks!

Sincerely,
Helin

Maybe because the layer is not evaluated for each page. You can try 
putting the \setlayer stuff inside \setupheadertexts or append them to 
beforeeverypage or aftereverypage, like

\appendtoks \setlayer[...] \to \aftereverypage

\startsetups make:headers  
 \setlayer[colin][x=5cm,y=3cm]{\framed{\getmarking[chapter][current]}}
\stopsetups  

\setupbackgrounds[page][setups=make:headers,background=colin]

you need to postpone/repeat the action
