Wolfgang, Actually, I just realised this only works if the next page (the right page following the empty left page) is the first page of a chapter in the bodymatter. That is, it does not work in the following two cases: - If the next page is the first page of the first appendix - If there is no next page, ie. for the last page of the document In both those cases, I would like for no footers and headers to appear, but currently they do.

Hello,

When you setup your chapters such that a chapter always starts on a right page, you naturally get the occasional empty left page just before that. I have my headers setup like this

\setupheadertexts[chapter][section]

I get the chapter and section name of the previous section printed in the header of that empty page, but I want that page just empty. Is there a way?

You have to use

\setuphead [chapter] [page={yes,header,right}]

to disable the header on empty left pages before a new chapter.

Wolfgang, Thank you for this. I do actually like the empty page, I just don't like the header and footer on there. So, after you your hint I managed to turn that off with \setupsectionblock[page={yes, header, footer, right}] Regards, Malte. -- “The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder...

Wolfgang,

Actually, I just realised this only works if the next page (the right page following the empty left page) is the first page of a chapter in the bodymatter. That is, it does not work in the following two cases:

- If the next page is the first page of the first appendix

This happens because sectionblocks force a right page at the start of each block, you can disable this with

\setupsectionblock[page=yes] % default: page=right

...

- If there is no next page, ie. for the last page of the document

This should also be solved with the solution above. When the number still appears you can try to add \page[last] at the end of your document.
