I have set up the \chapter command thus; \setuphead[chapter][page=right,style={\nimbua},header=high] ....where nimbua is a font. The chapter head appears on a recto (odd numbered) page as expected but the verso blank page inserted where necessary before the chapter head has a running header. It should be blank. I can kludge this up with a wrapper macro containing \ifodd\pageno etc. but it seems there should be a more Contextish way to handle it. -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm

That does it. Thanks very much. I will only suggest that since a blank page needs neither header nor footer that this fix be included some way in Context itself, so that every time a blank page is generated automatically it is shorn of these items. That is the usual practice in book layout according to my references. -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm

\definepagebreak is a normal ConTeXt and not a fix, you could also use the values in \setuphead without the intermediate way. \setuphead[chapter][page={yes,header,footer,right}] Wolfgang

In my experience, in educational settings there often are headings and footers on such empty pages, so that it is absolutely clear that it was not a printing error. YMMV. Best wishes, Taco
