Here is the code. first the file title.tex: ----------------- \startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no] (title stuff) \stopstandardmakeup ------------------- and next the file copy.tex: -------------------------------------- \startstandardmakeup[page=no] (contents) \stopstandardmakeup ------------------------ MY master file contains: \input title.tex \input copy.tex ---------------------- An extra blank page is inserted between the title page and the title verso. If I combine the two files into a new file combine.tex, eliminate the two input lines above and say \input combine.tex instead I still get the unwanted blank page in between.
(untested). Add doublesided=no.

It works! Thanks for your help. I added these lines to my macros.tex file which gets read first: \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupmakeup[standard][page=yes, doublesided=no] Then to preserve the blank page after my half title (where I really want it) I changed my master file to read as follows: \input macros.tex \starttext \startfrontmatter \input variables.tex \input half.tex \startstandardmakeup %new \null %new \stopstandardmakeup %new \input title.tex \input copy.tex %\input ded.tex \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter %\input body.tex \stopbodymatter \stoptext Lines 6-8 in the above file give me a blank page. This will now be my standard master file. I hope that the next revision of the manual will include this fix. ___________________________________________________________________________________
