Thanks Wolfgang for your response. I'm having a little trouble understanding your response, so let me tell you what I think you said.

\setuplayout should not be used to enable doublesided documents. Because that option (\setuplayout[location=doublesided] is used to control the location of your document on real paper. Is that correct?

If so, then I don't need to use the \setuplayout[location=doublesided] option for the example. Correct?

So I did the following with the above code:

% \setuplayout[location=doublesided]

\setuppagenumbering[

location={footer,middle},

alternative=doublesided,

option=doublesided,

style=\em\tfx,

way=bytext,

]

What does the "option=doublesided" do? Do I need it? I'm not sure where I found that one.

I still have the same problem with the last chapter in a division, the headers and the footers print out. I also tried with/without the "option=doublesided".
