Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuppapersize[A5] \definemakeup[colophon][page={yes, blank, right}] \starttext \dorecurse{6}{\input zapf} \startmakeup[colophon] This is the colophon \stopmakeup I need to have the colophon in an odd page. I thought that the option page would do the work, but it doesn’t seem to work. Which is the right way to get a makeup on an odd page? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

By default context produces only singlesided documents where command which force left or right page are ignored. When you want a doublesided document you can choose between two options. The first option uses a different (mirrored) layout for left and right pages and is enabled with \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] The second option uses the same layout for left and right pages (i.e. the left and right margins on each page are the same) and is enabled with \setuppagenumbering[alternative={singlesided,doublesided}] Wolfgang

Many thanks for your fast reply, Wolfgang. I forgot to include in my minimal sample the doublesided option. I’m afraid it doesn’t work either: \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \definemakeup[colophon][page=right] \starttext \input zapf\par \startmakeup[colophon] This is the colophon \stopmakeup What am I doing wrong here?

Many thanks for your help,

It’s a bug in page-mak.mkvi \def\page_makeup_start_indeed[#name][#settings]% {% the next grouping hack is somewhat messy: \begingroup % we need to figure out the current layout \xdef\m_page_makeup_name{#name}% \let\currentmakeup\m_page_makeup_name \let\currentlayout\m_page_makeup_name \xdef\m_page_makeup_layout_parent{\layoutparameter\s!parent}% \setupcurrentmakeup[#settings]% \edef\p_page{\makeupparameter\c!page}% \ifx\p_page\empty \endgroup \page % new, so best not have dangling mess here like references (we could capture then and flush embedded) \else\ifx\p_page\v!no % nothing \endgroup \else - \endgroup - \page[\p_page]% + \normalexpanded{\endgroup\page[\p_page]}% \fi\fi … The value of the page key is used after the closing group command. To fix this the content of \p_page has to be expanded before the group is closed. Wolfgang

I wonder whether this is related to the fact of getting a final blank even page. \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, page=] \definemakeup[colophon][page=right] \starttext \input zapf\par \startmakeup[colophon] This is the colophon \stopmakeup The way to disable it was suggested by Hans (http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2014/078949.html) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

No, both things are unrelated. Wolfgang
