/ Hi, />/ />/ I would like to have a doublesided layout with: />/ />/ - a titlepage with neither header nor footer, />/ - a frontpart with pagesnumbers(left/right) in roman />/ - a bodypart with pagesnumbers(left/right) in arabic />/ - an appendix with pagesnumbers(left/right) in arabic />/ />/ - first page of a chapter should not have a header + underline />/ - next page header(CHAPTER #: chapter) underlined />/ - next page header(section) underlined />/ />/ - if there is no section then only the line. />/ - if the next page is empty than only the pagenumber should be printed. />/ />/ Seems to be a common layout and I apologize for asking. />/ />/ Thanks in advance for any help. />/ />/ Regards, />/ />/ Arne /

Put the makeup environment in the front matter environment and remove the sectionblock settings.

When you don't want to start chapter at a right page you can add \setupsectionblock[page=yes] to your document.

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]

\setupheadertexts[] \setupheadertexts[\setups{text a}][][][\setups{text b}]

\startsetups[text a] CHAPTER \getmarking[chapternumber]: \WORD{\getmarking[chapter]} \stopsetups

\startsetups[text b] \getmarking[section] \stopsetups

\setupheader[text][after=\hrule]

\setuphead[chapter][page={header,right},header=empty]

\setupfootertexts[][pagenumber]

\defineconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][romannumerals][]

\startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \setcounter[userpage][1] \stopsectionblockenvironment

\starttext

\startfrontmatter

\startstandardmakeup[align=middle] {\tfd TITLE} \stopstandardmakeup

\completecontent

\stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter

\chapter{Knuth}

\dorecurse{12}{\input knuth\par}

\stopbodymatter

\startappendices

\chapter{Zapf}

\dorecurse{12}{\input zapf\par}

Wolfgang Thank you Wolfgang for the reply. If I compile your code then I get

! Undefined control sequence. l.20 \defineconversionset [frontpart:pagenumber][romannumerals][] and if I comment this line, I get ! Missing number, treated as zero. and if I comment \setcounter[userpage][1] then - page 4 has a header line, which I don't like - page 7 or 11 has not the marking Knuth respectively Zapf - useless page 13 at the end of the document I guess that's because I don't use the latest version. I use context_2012.05.30.2012061, TeXExec | version 6.2.1 - 1997-2009 - PRAGMA ADE/POD I finally came up with the following code, which does it for me. \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location=] \setupheadertexts[] \setupheadertexts[\setups{text a}][][][\setups{text b}] \startsetups[text a] CHAPTER \getmarking[chapternumber]: \expanded{\uppercase{\fetchmark[chapter][first]}} \stopsetups \startsetups[text b] \getmarking[section] \stopsetups \setupfootertexts[][pagenumber] \setupheader[text][after=\hrule] \setuphead[chapter][header=empty] \setupsectionblock[frontpart][ before={\setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals]}, after={\page[yes,header,right]}] \setupsectionblock[bodypart][after={\page[yes,header,right]}] \setupsectionblock[appendix][after={\page[yes,header,right]}] \setupsectionblock[backpart][after={\page[yes,header,right]}] \starttext \startfrontmatter \startstandardmakeup \title{title} \stopstandardmakeup \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \setuppagenumber[number=1] \chapter{body} \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth} \stopbodymatter \startappendices \chapter{appendix} code \input knuth \stopappendices \page[stop] \stoptext Arne
