Hi there,

since long time I always use hacks and complicate uses of

\setuppagenumbering[location=] and \startfrontmatter \stopfrontmatter in different places of my documents, which habe often sideeffects and make problems.

Sectionblock environment are supposed to be used only once in a document.

All this just for realizing a very simple rule: If the page is empty (no text), then it should be "totally empty", that is: No header, no footer, no pagenumber. But apart from this, do nothing – do not change effects of partnumerings (like \frontmatter does), or anything else.

That is all I need. Is that easy to realize without on/off-commands, which makes confusing in a large document?

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \input knuth \page[empty] % empty page \input knuth \page[yes,right] %move to right page but keep header and footer \input knuth \page[yes,header,footer,right] % move to right page and remove header and footer \input knuth \stoptext Wolfgang
