There, it's a matter of redefining the \cleardoublepage comman; I assumed that ConTeXt had some kind of built-in hook to do that, but I found that it is not so; the command that ejects a blank page when needed is \ejectdummypage, but there is no way to configure it to put something on that page. Could the page ejecting mechanism be slightly improved, with a \setupdummypage[...] command that defines what has to be done with the dummy pages? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ref.ntg.nl http://ref.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

(\page[makeup,text] or so) No, I was thinking more of events like \page[odd] which flushes the current page if we are on an even page, but flushes the current page AND addes a blank even page. This blank even page cannot be "configured" to be nonblank, and that's what I want. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ref.ntg.nl http://ref.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
