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. ?
