Subject: Title pages makeup extra blank pages
Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2023 09:34:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <69bbea36-3434-201d-59e5-4991e5255e51@icloud.com> (raw)

Hello,

Trying to use:

\startdocument

\startpagefigure[Coverpages.pdf][page=1]\stoppagefigure
\startpagefigure[Coverpages.pdf][page=2]\stoppagefigure

% before

\startmakeup [titlepage]
front
\stopmakeup

\startmakeup [titlepage]
back
\stopmakeup

\startfrontmatter
...
\stopfrontmatter

...

\stopdocument


inserts a "blank" page (with header/footer) between the two Coverpages 
and a second "blank" page after the backside title page.

Not including the two \startpagefigure lines eliminates the blank page 
following the back side title page (and the other one between the two 
Coverpages, of course).


This is not a MWE as it occurs in a complicated project but not in mwe 
snippets.

I suspect that this artifact is somehow related to the page={...} 
settings later in the document. How can I turn OFF all automatic page 
generation settings for the very beginning of my document? Any ideas?
(Title page makeup has always been somewhat of a mystery to me.)

Alan
