Thank you for making this more clear.

1) \startstandardmakeup is extensively used but not found in the wiki 
command reference. Why?

2) What \startstandardmakeup do then? And what is the purpose of 
defining custom makeups?

Hope this help me an other ConTeXt users ;)

Because it is a derived command, and most/all of those are not
in the command reference yet (for example, neither is \startitemize,
which is derived from \defineitemgroup).

 From the source (and I am positive this is also mentioned in the
big manual):

%D A makeup is a separate page, like a title page or colofon.
%D There is one standard makeup page, but you can define more
%D if needed.

As can be seen in

   http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/setupmakeup

it is a page type with a special layout / header & footer sections
that last only temporarily. The key point is that such a page
does not (have to) rely on the current page layout style, which
is especially useful for title pages.

Best wishes,
Taco

fullpage still not preset in minimals

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hi,

Long time ago I asked about including fullpage module into the standard 
ConTeXt distribution. I thought that the answer was positive, but this 
module still not present in either beta nor current minimal 
distribution. I think it should be a part of standard package because it 
makes setting up page layout 10 times easier.

It's in the minimals. Just run "./first-setup.sh --extras=all" to get all
third party modules.
Cheers, Peter
