I guess you set the value in a local group and at the end of the group your setting is forgotten, ...
you're right Wolfgang! I removed a \begingroup-\endgroup pair in the macro that sets the value by calling my \setHeaderVar and now I get the updates being visible inside the header code.
a simple change you can make is to replace \doassign with \getgparameters which makes global settings.
I couldn't find any docu on \getgparameters except for its parameter list (in setup-en.pdf) but what I have now will totally suffice.
A alternative to your current approach is to use the variables mechanism to set and access values (you still have to ensure all values you set are global).
I didn't even try the \setvariables approach now, even though I had checked that one out before I wrote to this list (w/out checking the begin/endgroup thing though). Thank you very much and best regards, Werner ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
