I have been using \startstandardmakeup etc. for some years now. I note on the wiki that there is a command \startmakeup also. It is not covered in my copy of the Manual. What are the principal diferences between the two?

There are no differences, the command \startstandardmakeup is the same as \startmakeup[standard]. \starttext \startmakeup[standard] Standard makeup \stopmakeup \startstandardmakeup Standard makeup \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext Wolfgang
