Excellent, Wolfgang. You are right. Many thanks. But if I may impose just a little longer on your patience, let me explain my problem further.

In my example, that \page[makeup] to be removed stood for a key element in the sequence
\page[makeup]
\stoptext
\stopcomponent
that typically closes a component in the prd file that I use to produce volumes of a journal.

Without \page[makeup], when I run my prd file, the page number of a component is appears on the last page of the preceding component. If I keep the \page[makeup], each component is followed by a blank page (with header) that precedes the title page of the new component.

In short my example replicated what I was seeing but fixing the example does not fix the original problem. Is there a canonical way to close components in MKIV that I have missed? (This env/prd setup does work in MKII—I have 8 volumes to show for it.)

All best, Alan

Wolfgang—

In both MKII and MKIV (using the latest standalone which I installed this morning), with


\setupheader[state=high]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setuppagenumbering[location=,]
\setuphead[title][page={header,yes}]
\definehead[BookTitle][title]
\setuphead[BookTitle][before={\noindent\textrule},style=rm]
\setuphead[BookTitle][header=high]
\setupheadertexts[text]
[\cap{A.\ U.\ Thor}]
[\pagenumber]
[\pagenumber]
[\it{The Journal}]  

\starttext
\dorecurse{6}{\input knuth}
\page[makeup]
\BookTitle{{\em An Indubitably Important Book} by A.\ U.\ Thor}
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}
\page[makeup]
\stoptext

the problem remains, that is, the header on the page preceding the page with the title is not suppressed. The same is true when I have \setuphead[title][page={blank,yes}], except then there are no headers at all after the page with the title on it. Does it work for you?

Remove \page[makeup] before \BookTitle and the header disappears.

Wolfgang
