I'm having a totally blank page at the end of the document. The document has a page number, but nothing is on it. I remember this being a known bug when front/body/backmatter was used ... is there a known fix? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

You mean the following? \setupsectionblock[frontpart][page=] \setupsectionblock[bodypart][page=] \setupsectionblock[backpart][page=] \setupsectionblock[appendixpart][page=] Tobias

beware, if you you nil the page commands, you may need to make sure yourself that the pagebreaks between section blocks are forced at the right moment in order to reset for instance marks (used in running headers); think of: end of frontpart (no page break) some changes to header settings begin of bodypart (no page break) start of chapter (forcingpage break) versus end of frontpart (page break) some changes to header settings begin of bodypart (redundant page break) start of chapter (forcing (redundant) page break) in the first case, the header may be wrong on the last page of the frontpart because it is set before the page break forced by the chapter so, the suggested settings are perfectly ok but don't blame me for sync problems -) Hans

think of:
end of frontpart (no page break) some changes to header settings begin of bodypart (no page break) start of chapter (forcingpage break)
versus
end of frontpart (page break) some changes to header settings begin of bodypart (redundant page break) start of chapter (forcing (redundant) page break)
in the first case, the header may be wrong on the last page of the frontpart because it is set before the page break forced by the chapter

Yeah, that's the reason why I only used [page=] only on the last sectionblock. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

in the first case, the header may be wrong on the last page of the frontpart because it is set before the page break forced by the chapter Well, somehow reading this above, it sounds different than I get by the current settings:
\starttext setupheadertexts[FontMatter] \startfrontmatter \chapter{One}\chapter{Two} \stopfrontmatter \setupheadertexts[BodyMatter] \startbodymatter \chapter{Three} \stopbodymatter \stoptext Gives [One] [Two] [Three] [empty page]. Reading above I'd expect: [One] [Two][Three] or [One][Two][empty page][Three]. I actually want to have [One][Two][Three]. If I now set page=, then I get [One][Two][Three], but on page [Two] is the wrong header. What is the proper way of doing so? Or: Why is there a page(break) added _after_ the matter and not - like \chapter{} - a pagebreak before? Tobias PS: Fortunally, I needed only \setupheadertexts[chapter] so far, which poses no problem.

I think the problem lies in the fact that there is one "page=" setting that is used both in the \startsectionblock *and* in the \endsectionblock. Maybe it would be better to have a pagebefore/pageafter thing, with the default being pagebefore=yes,pageafter=no. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
