chapter page on right.

chapter page on right.

[John Culleton]

I have set up the \chapter command thus;
\setuphead[chapter][page=right,style={\nimbua},header=high]
....where nimbua is a font. 

The chapter head appears on a recto (odd numbered) page as expected 
but the verso blank page inserted where necessary before the chapter 
head has a running header. It should be blank. I can kludge this up 
with a wrapper macro   containing  \ifodd\pageno etc. but it seems 
there should be a more Contextish way to handle it.

That does it. Thanks very much.  I will only suggest that since a 
blank page needs neither header nor footer that this fix be included 
some way in Context itself, so that every time a blank page is 
generated automatically it is shorn of these items. That is the usual 
practice in book layout according to my references.

\definepagebreak is a normal ConTeXt and not a fix, you could also
use the values in \setuphead without the intermediate way.

\setuphead[chapter][page={yes,header,footer,right}]

In my experience, in educational settings there often are headings and
footers on such empty pages, so that it is absolutely clear that it was
not a printing error. YMMV.

Best wishes,
Taco
