Re: [NTG-context] \definelayout[first] does not yield to default layout on page 2

Wagner, Thanks for pointing this out, it works: \definelayout [1] [first page layout...] \definelayout [2] [reset] % call for a reset when the second page is reached \setuplayout [default layout...] But the question of why \definelayout[first] does not work correctly remains. Perhaps the developers will look into it. PPN On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 8:18 AM, Wagner Macedo wrote:

According to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout#Multiple_layouts, you can do this by using the commands \setuplayout[yourcustomlayout] and \setuplayout[reset] at the location you want to change the layout.

First-page layout is an issue that I have asked about before, but maybe I am doing something wrong. Here is my question in an earlier thread: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20111228.041922.c60f9cd5.en.html .

I want to define a layout for the first page of my document with different header and footer formatting -- specifically, no header and a large footer to hold publication information. Based on examples on Contextgarden and this list, I think my code below is correct. However, the first page formatting is continued on all pages of the document. The effect is the same when using \definelayout[first] and \definelayout[1].
