there has been some discussion about this unwanted 'extra page' and the automatism behind it; if you want an even number, you can force it:
\setuppagenumbering[option=doublesided]
I missed that discussion. I still have the problem. It happens when I use \startbodymatter...\stopbodymatter: \setuppagenumbering [option=doublesided, alternative=doublesided] \starttext \startbodymatter \dorecurse{5}{\input tufte\par \input knuth\par} \stopbodymatter \stoptext In my experiments I have not yet been able to force an even number of pages. There is an easy work-around for me: use --pdfselect or \filterpages to trim off the last page. Note: the reason I am so fussy about this is that I am dealing with a printer service bureau which needs the document "just so."
should this be an option to \setuppagenumbering?
I don't know. It is something I need in all my big projects. Would \setuplayout be more logical? I have no strong preference as long as I have a way. Fixing up the doc with --pdfselect is good enough for now. -Bill -- Sattre Press Curiosities of the Sky http://sattre-press.com/ by Garrett Serviss info@sattre-press.com http://csky.sattre-press.com/
