Extra blank page after title page.

Extra blank page after title page.

[john Culleton]

Here is the code. first the file title.tex:
-----------------
\startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no]
(title stuff)
\stopstandardmakeup
-------------------
and next the file copy.tex:
--------------------------------------
\startstandardmakeup[page=no]
(contents)
\stopstandardmakeup
------------------------
MY master file contains:
\input title.tex
\input copy.tex
----------------------
An extra blank page is inserted between the title
page and the title verso.
If I combine the two files into a new file
combine.tex, eliminate the two input lines
above and say 
\input combine.tex
instead I still get the unwanted blank page in between. 

Using MKIV and TexLive 2013 on Linux.

It works! Thanks for your help.

I added these lines to my macros.tex file which gets read first:

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setupmakeup[standard][page=yes, doublesided=no]

Then to preserve the blank page after my half
title (where I really want it) I changed my
master file to read as follows:

\input macros.tex
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\input variables.tex
\input half.tex
\startstandardmakeup %new
\null                %new  
\stopstandardmakeup  %new
\input title.tex
\input copy.tex
%\input ded.tex
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
%\input body.tex
\stopbodymatter
\stoptext

Lines 6-8 in the above file give me a blank page.

This will now be my standard master file. I hope
that the next revision of the manual will
include this fix.

(untested). Add doublesided=no.
