extra page in presentation styles
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/58128ef2fa853eca7f2503a152c340ae.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Context presentation style problem: I didn't use the (green-)presentation style for quite some time. Now I suddenly get an EXTRA PAGE before the first \TitlePage. See below for a minimal example and the output produced. Does somebody happen to what is wrong or where I am wrong? By the way, the upgrade of 27-10-2005 context did not change this. I do not include the pdf-output, because it makes this posting too big to post without special moderator approval. But in my system it gives a blank first page and then the TitlePage as sheet numbered 2. Thanks.

Hi Hans, On my machine with ConTeXt ver: 2005.09.14 fmt: 2005.10.21 int: english mes: english everything is fine with the sample file you sent. Probably you should update your installation of ConTeXt. Best regards: OK On 3 nov. 2005, at 17:36, Hans van der Meer wrote:

no problems here either; maybe some spurious character that has ended up in a file Hans

Both of you thanks for taking the trouble to run the example. Because of your results I became convinced the problem was lurking somewhere in my part of the ConTeXt installation. That enabled me the quickly locate the culprit: a spurious comma introduced (by me of course, stupido) in cont-sys.tex (cont-sys.rme). A pity this comma did not show up in the output; it makes your help the more valuable. I am posting this message to the list, so that everyone who read my previous posting will be aware of the fact that it was no problem of ConTeXt.

such a comma may not be visible because it is obscured by some layer or because a font is not yet loaded (rare) Hans
