Dear Hans and Wolfgang, The following code generates a pdf that I cannot understand. 1. Although "placehead" is set to "no," the \part macro still makes an empty line. 2. The first \chapter does not open a new page, but if we switch the first \title and the first \chapter, the result seems to be all right. Is there a simple fix? Thanks in advance. ================================== \setuphead [part,chapter,title,section] [continue=yes,page=yes,number=no] \setuphead[part][placehead=no] \showframe \starttext \input ward\page \part{TITLE}\input ward\par \title{Title} \chapter{Title} \chapter{Title} \title{Title} \chapter{Title} \stoptext ================================== ConTeXt minimal information: zhichu  ~  context -version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.63 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2016.03.26 13:51 zhichu  ~  luatex -version This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.90.0 (TeX Live 2016) Execute 'luatex --credits' for credits and version details.
