Hello List!

 

It is a long time ago, that I have written the last mail to you.

Thank you Taco so much, because for the new example of the Recent changes from 17.January 2019. Because:  Modyfying the page before a chapter is something, that  i can need. I mean this one:

 

% next five lines just to show the effect on this wiki

\setuppapersize[A8][A5,landscape]

\setuppaper[nx=4, ny=2]

\setuplayout[page][location=middle, marking=on]

\setuparranging [XY]

\setupbodyfont[6pt]

 

% actual example starts here

\setuppagenumbering

  [alternative=doublesided]

 

\startsetups [chapter:before]

  \doifoddpageelse

    {}

    {\pushbackground[page]

     \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=gray]

     \page[right]

     \popbackground}

\stopsetups

 

\setuphead

  [chapter]

  [page=yes,

   before=\directsetup{chapter:before}]

 

\starttext

 

\startchapter[title={Knuth}]

\dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{knuth}}

\stopchapter

 

\startchapter[title={Ward}]

\dorecurse{1}{\samplefile{ward}}

\stopchapter

 

\startchapter[title={Zapf}]

\dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{zapf}}

\stopchapter

 

 

\stoptext

 

I have a question: how can I have a empty page before the next chapter  without a page number? Do I have to write: \page =empty. ?
