Hi Jeff, On 17/09/2003 Patrick Gundlach provided the following solution on this list: \definepagebreak [Mychapterpagebreak] [yes,header,right] % [yes,header,left] % [yes,header,footer,right] \setuphead [chapter] [page=mychapterpagebreak] % [page=Mychapterpagebreak,header=empty,footer=empty] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location={header,margin}] \setupheadertexts[{My special headertext}] \setupfootertexts[This is a text in the footer] % \setupbackgrounds[header][text][bottomframe=on] \starttext \chapter {testA} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \chapter {testB} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \chapter {testC} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \stoptext Humble a hopefully correct explanation is: 1. You define a new pagebreak rule. It has the name "Mychapterpagebreak". The options set read as: "pagebreak=yes", placeheader, use a right page. 2. You set options for the header of type chapter and use for the option page the before defined new pagebreak.. You might want to experiment with the commented lines ans see what happens. Kind regards Willi jeffdod@netzero.net wrote:

I have the following in my environment setup:

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location=]

I am properly getting the doublesided page setup. Also, chapters begin only on odd pages, which is exactly what I want.

However, when a chapter ends on an odd page, the next (even) page that I would like to be completely blank instead contains both the header and footer. I found one other thread in this forum that told how to make this extra even page totally blank. However, I am not an advanced ConTeXt user yet, and I did not understand how to implement the solution. Is there a simple explanation of how to eliminate the header and footer on this even page?
