starting on an even page

starting on an even page

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.

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—

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

pre-fuzzy problem

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
