I wanted the title page to have a yellow background so I used: \setupbackgrounds[page][state=start,background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow] before \starttext. After that one page I wanted to go back to no background, but I am having trouble turning it off. Here is some of my code: --------------------------------- \setupbackgrounds[page][state=start,background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow] \starttext \startfrontmatter \startstandardmakeup ...(title page stuff) \stopstandardmakeup \setupbackgrounds[page][state=stop] ------------------------ I get one white page and then everything goes back to yellow again. How do I turn off the yellow background permanently? -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com

There was another little problem. I had created the background before the \starttext statement. This made it global in nature. So when I got rid of it between \startfrontmatter and \stopfrontmatter it was only abolished in that range of pages. Live and learn. I had thought that the tags for frontmatter etc were just documentation but not so. -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com
