Re: [NTG-context] Some extra empty pages, why? And how to get an initial blank page with page number 0?

13 Mar 2005

      Hi Gerben,

I puzzeled with your project code.
First you  are not allowed to use \starttext \stoptext in a definition.
Your definitione interferes with the chapter mechnism. So more knowledge 
is necessary which I do not have at the moment.
in the "before" option you say \page=right, seems to create a problem.
If you want to start a page with blank lines you nee to insert a \strut

Please see the attached file

Without \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided], I get single sided 
layout (even if I have the \setuplayout statement, very confusing). If I 
do add \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided], I get the following:
1. Title page
2. Empty
3. Page with only a page numer 1 at the top
4. empty
5. Page with Contents 'chapter'
6. Page with quote
7. First page of chapter
Except for pages 3 and 4 that is how I want it. Why are these pages 
there? They are not there if 
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] is left out.
My product file looks like this:
...
\startproduct prd_book
\project project_teoada
\starttext
\start
\startstandardmakeup \ss
\hairline \start
\switchtobodyfont[20pt]\bf
\leftaligned{TEOADA}%
\stop \hairline \blank[line]\rightaligned{Gerben Wierda}%
\blank[10cm]\start\leftskip=10cm\hairline\stop
\rightaligned{2005}%
\stopstandardmakeup
\stop

        \component c_guide

        \component c_ch1

        \component c_ch3
\startappendices
       \component c_app1
\stopappendices
\stoptext
\stopproduct
I have been trying a lot of permutations but so far without luck.
Secondly, when I turn on 2xB5 on one B4 landscape and 2SIDE arrangement, 
I would like to have an initial blank page (with page number 0) so I can 
have my 2SIDE look just like a book would look. I have tried to get one 
with the \page command in various places and with various setups, but so 
far without *any* effect.
I have been using the manual, the wiki and any documentation I have been 
able to find. So far no luck.
Thanks,
G
