… and use \setlayer. Thanks Wolfgang, I think I’m piecing together how layers, backgrounds and the pagebreak mechanism fit together.

Set the page background outside of the sectionblock.

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=frontbackground]

\setlayer[frontbackground]{\externalfigure[mill][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]}

\setupsectionblock and \setupbackgrounds page-break problem

[Robin.Kirkham]

Folks,

I want \startfrontmatter to trigger a background image, but I can only get this to appear if I use page=yes (see example below).

However, I don’t want any page break between the front-matter and body-matter. If I use page=no (as in the line commented out) this page break disappears — but so does the background image!

How can I get the background behind the page where the front-matter text appears, but with no page break before the body-matter?

Robin

\definelayer[frontbackground]

}

\unexpanded\def\frontpartbefore{
    \setupbackgrounds[page]
        [background=frontbackground]
}

\setupsectionblock[frontpart][page=yes,before=\frontpartbefore]

\setupsectionblock[bodypart][page=no]
