Empty page at the end of the document

Empty page at the end of the document

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

I'm having a totally blank page at the end of the document.
The document has a page number, but nothing is on it.

I remember this being a known bug when front/body/backmatter
was used ... is there a known fix?

You mean the following?

\setupsectionblock[frontpart][page=]
\setupsectionblock[bodypart][page=]
\setupsectionblock[backpart][page=]
\setupsectionblock[appendixpart][page=]

beware, if you you nil the page commands, you may need to make sure 
yourself that the pagebreaks between section blocks are forced at the 
right moment in order to reset for instance marks (used in running 
headers);

think of:

end of frontpart (no page break)
some changes to header settings
begin of bodypart (no page break)
start of chapter (forcingpage break)

versus

end of frontpart (page break)
some changes to header settings
begin of bodypart (redundant page break)
start of chapter (forcing (redundant) page break)

in the first case, the header may be wrong on the last page of the 
frontpart because it is set before the page break forced by the chapter

so, the suggested settings are perfectly ok but don't blame me for sync 
problems -)

Yeah, that's the reason why I only used [page=] only on the
last sectionblock.

Well, somehow reading this above, it sounds different than I get by the 
current settings:

\starttext
setupheadertexts[FontMatter]
\startfrontmatter \chapter{One}\chapter{Two} \stopfrontmatter
\setupheadertexts[BodyMatter]
\startbodymatter \chapter{Three} \stopbodymatter
\stoptext

Gives [One] [Two] [Three] [empty page].
Reading above I'd expect: [One] [Two][Three] or [One][Two][empty 
page][Three].
I actually want to have [One][Two][Three].

If I now set page=, then I get [One][Two][Three], but on page [Two] is 
the wrong header.
What is the proper way of doing so? Or: Why is there a page(break) added 
_after_ the matter and not - like \chapter{} - a pagebreak before?

Tobias

PS: Fortunally, I needed only \setupheadertexts[chapter] so far, which 
poses no problem.

I think the problem lies in the fact that there is one
"page=" setting that is used both in the \startsectionblock
*and* in the \endsectionblock. Maybe it would be better to
have a pagebefore/pageafter thing, with the default being
pagebefore=yes,pageafter=no.
