This is undoubtedly a simple-minded question. So, with apologies, let me say that I wish to produce a chapter in doublesided mode that begins on an even (left hand) page, say page 54. What I currently produce is a blank page 54 (with correct header) followed by the chapter itself starting on page 55 and looking exactly it should if page 55 were the first page. In effect, ConTeXt is inserting a blank page so that the first page of the chapter proper is odd. How do I stop it from doing this? (There is no blank page if the first page number is in fact odd.) Any suggestions or even pointers to some manual would be much appreciated. Alan
Hi Alan, you might want to study the general manual on ConTeXt pp 136 ... there is a command \setuphead: \setuphead[chapter][page=yes] AFAIK \setuphead[chapter] is set to [page=right] in normal setup. Willi Alan Bowen wrote:

Willi— Many thanks indeed. \setuphead is the key. (Thus far I have read the short manual, but plainly I need to work through the general one as well, if I am to understand how ConTeXt defines/addresses basic typesetting issues. So there’s some of my summer reading!) Cheers, Alan On Mar 26, 2004, at 3:44 PM, Willi Egger wrote:

Hi, I've had my first foray into ConTeXt today. Have to say that it's truly an amazing system. The problem I have run into is that using the code included below, produces a weird result when I run texexec --pdf foo.tex. I'm not sure how else to describe it, but most of the "text" area is covered by the index. --- \usemodule[pre-fuzzy] \starttext \TitlePage {Title} \Topics{Agenda} \Topic{Foo1} sdfsdfds \Topic{Foo2} sdfsd \Topic {Foo3} Blah \stoptext --- The pdf is attached. I have no problems with the other styles. Example code I've downloaded from the net creates the same problem. The distribution is the standard install with gentoo linux and I didn't have to do anything special to get the rest working. I'm assuming this is an install problem. Just not sure what. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Achint -- Computer Science is as much about computers as astronomy is about telescopes -- Edsger Wybe Dijkstra (1930-2002)
