Hi Raghu, I did two changes in your code: 1. Disabling of header=empty. 2. Adding of \page[empty]. Probably, there is better and system solution, but this might help you, I guess.

Read "odd" instead of "even" in the place marked vvvv. Raghu. -- N. Raghavendra , http://www.retrotexts.net/ Harish-Chandra Research Institute, http://www.hri.res.in/

Add the following \if command:

\startfrontmatter \completecontent \ifodd\pageno\page[empty]\else\setupheadertexts[chapter][pagenumber]\fi \stopfrontmatter

Thanks, that should work. However, searching through setup-en.pdf, I found the conditional `\doifelseoddpage {CMD} {CMD}', which is precisely what I needed. Enclosed below is an example which is formatted as I wanted. 1. I use `header=empty' in \setuphead [chapter], for otherwise I get a header on the pages where a chapter begins. 2. I use \setupheadertexts twice, first before the beginning of the front matter, and then before the beginning of the body matter, with settings appropriate for the respective block. 3. I use `\marking [chapter] {Contents}' before \completecontent, for otherwise I get no chapter name in the header for the ToC. 4. I use `\doifelseoddpage {\page [empty]} {}' after \completecontent, to do what you had suggested. Thanks again for the help.
