extra page in presentation styles

extra page in presentation styles

[Hans van der Meer]

Context presentation style problem:

I didn't use the (green-)presentation style for quite some time.
Now I suddenly get an EXTRA PAGE before the first \TitlePage.
See below for a minimal example and the output produced.
Does somebody happen to what is wrong or where I am wrong?
By the way, the upgrade of 27-10-2005 context did not change this.

I do not include the pdf-output, because it makes this posting too  
big to post without special moderator approval.
But in my system it gives a blank first page and then the TitlePage  
as sheet numbered 2.

Thanks.

Hi Hans,

On my machine with
ConTeXt  ver: 2005.09.14  fmt: 2005.10.21  int: english  mes: english
everything is fine with the sample file you sent.
Probably you should update your installation of ConTeXt.

Best regards: OK

no problems here either;  maybe some  spurious  character  that  has 
ended up in a file

Both of you thanks for taking the trouble to run the example.
Because of your results I became convinced the problem was lurking  
somewhere in my part of the ConTeXt installation. That enabled me the  
quickly locate the culprit: a spurious comma introduced (by me of  
course, stupido) in cont-sys.tex (cont-sys.rme). A pity this comma  
did not show up in the output; it makes your help the more valuable.

I am posting this message to the list, so that everyone who read my  
previous posting will be aware of the fact that it was no problem of  
ConTeXt.

such a comma may not be visible because it is obscured by some layer or 
because a font is not yet loaded (rare)
