Folks,

I want \startfrontmatter to trigger a background image, but I can only get this to appear if I use page=yes (see example below).

However, I don’t want any page break between the front-matter and body-matter. If I use page=no (as in the line commented out) this page break disappears — but so does the background image!

How can I get the background behind the page where the front-matter text appears, but with no page break before the body-matter?

Set the page background outside of the sectionblock.

\setupexternalfigures[location=default]

\definelayer[frontbackground]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=frontbackground]

\startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart]
\setlayer[frontbackground]{\externalfigure[mill][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]}
\stopsectionblockenvironment

\setupsectionblock[frontpart][page=no]
\setupsectionblock[bodypart][page=no]

\starttext

\startfrontmatter
Should be on a first page
\stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter
Should follow frontmatter with no page break
\stopbodymatter

\stoptext
