There is a trick mentioned on the wiki for top-aligning the contents of a
makeup page, namely adding "top=,", which cancels the default value of
\vss, which is infinitely strechable space.
However, that doesn't seem to work when the first element in the makeup
page is \completecontent:
\starttext
% top= here doesn't seem to be working...
\startmakeup[standard][top=,]
\completecontent
\section{testsection}
\stopmakeup
\stoptext
Here, the table of contents and the section are both placed on the makeup
page, but they are centered vertically. If the \completecontent line is
commented out, the correct vertical alignment of the section header is
obtained. Is there a way to get top-alignment when a makeup page starts
with \completecontent? Is this a bug?
Or should I even be using makeup pages in my table of contents?
Mark

You can disable the page break before chapter with: \setuphead[chapter][page=] This way it works as you intend. > Or should I even be using makeup pages in my table of contents? I wonder whether this makes sense at all. Why do you want or why do you think you need the table of contents wrapped in a makeup page? A makeup page is fine for contents such as title pages, colophons or similar ones. Their contents should fit in a single page, because the contents won’t be split across pages. Here you have a sample that shows why makeup pages shouldn’t be used for table of contents: \starttext \startmakeup[standard][top=,] \chapter{Contents} \dorecurse{50}{\section{testsection}} \stopmakeup \stoptext I hope it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

My thinking was that I didn't want my table of contents page to have a page number, but I didn't realize that the ToC head acts as a chapter head, so you can just get rid of the page number in the way you suggest. So just leaving out the makeup works fine, thanks!

Hi Mark, to get rid of page numbers in the table of contents, http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents#Suppressing_page_numbering_for_the_ToC_pages may help you.
