Hi nikolai, Many thanks for the hint in re right and left. (The next one to ask about this, I'll relieve you from the burden of having to answer and will answer it myself! :-)) So I now have only two questions left unsolved, which are (1) any ConTeXt command to gobble-up unwanted vertical space before a section header, when the section header appears right at the top of a new page? (2) any ConTeXt way to do a \setuphead such that the text following the header will be run-in text? Many thanks. Best, elena P.S. ok ok, I'll try to adopt your way of writing square bracketted expressions...
