In the \startbackmatter ... \stopbackmatter section i would like to have some chapters that are not automatically placed on a new page for the next chapter. Is there an easy way to suppress the new page for these chapters? Thanks, Jeroen

Untried:

1. Define a new section head that clones chapter (\definehead[NPChapter][chapter]). 2. Modify the new section head so that it does not do a break (\setuphead[NPChapter][page=no]). 3. Use the new section head instead of \chapter or \startchapter.

And, if you want them to appear in the table of contents, modify the combined list of section headers that go into the contents (\setupcombinedlist[content][list=chapter,NPChapter,...]). Perhaps add it to the pdf bookmarks as well (\placebookmarks...). -- RIk

There is a ‘before' key, but note that the sectionblock itself is called “backpart”, not “backmatter” Either use \setupsectionblock[backpart][before={\setuphead[chapter][page=no]}] Or, nicer: \startsectionblockenvironment[backpart] \setuphead[chapter][page=no] \stopsectionblockenvironment

While this works, it changes behavior for **all** chapters. It does not address the original question of how to have **some** chapters "not automatically placed on a new page."

Like this? \definehead[mychapter][chapter] \setuphead[mychapter][page=no] Taco
