First-page layout is an issue that I have asked about before, but
maybe I am doing something wrong. Here is my question in an earlier
thread: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20111228.041922.c60f9cd5.en.html
.
I want to define a layout for the first page of my document with
different header and footer formatting -- specifically, no header and
a large footer to hold publication information. Based on examples on
Contextgarden and this list, I think my code below is correct.
However, the first page formatting is continued on all pages of the
document. The effect is the same when using \definelayout[first] and
\definelayout[1].
%%-------------------------------------------------------------------
setuppapersize[letter][letter]
\setupindenting[yes, medium]
\setuplayout
[width=middle,
backspace=15mm,
topspace=10mm,
height=254mm,
header=10mm, % normal header
headerdistance=5mm,
footer=5mm,
footerdistance=5mm,
grid=yes]
\definelayout
[first]
[width=middle,
backspace=15mm,
topspace=10mm,
height=254mm,
header=0mm, % no header
headerdistance=0mm,
footer=25mm, % big footer
footerdistance=5mm,
grid=yes]
\definecolumnset[body][n=2,balancing=yes]
\setupheadertexts
[This is a header]
[pagenumber]
[pagenumber]
[Some text]
\setupfootertexts
[footer]
[footer]
[footer]
[footer]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[body]
\dorecurse{20}{\input tufte\par}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
%%---------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks,

According to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout#Multiple_layouts, you can
do this by using the commands \setuplayout[yourcustomlayout] and
\setuplayout[reset] at the location you want to change the layout.

Wagner,
Thanks for pointing this out, it works:
\definelayout
[1]
[first page layout...]
\definelayout
[2]
[reset] % call for a reset when the second page is reached
\setuplayout
[default layout...]
But the question of why \definelayout[first] does not work correctly
remains. Perhaps the developers will look into it.

Oh crap, I thought Wagner's solution worked but it doesn't -- quite.
\showframe indicates that the page areas are defined correctly, and
the footer frame on page 2 and later is the correct size. But Context
is not filling the text columns all the way to the bottom; The body
text is still stopping short as though the larger footer was still in
effect.
Frustrating.

Well, I never need this, so I thought that information was correct.
I will do some tests when I'll have time to see if works for me.

Is MkIV a option for you? The problem had been there for a while as well but now it’s fixed
you can decide what ConTeXt should do after the first page.
With the “state” you can control whether the layout at the second page should be switched
back to the global layout with \definelayout[…][state=start] (this is the default setting) or
it should remain with \definelayout[…][state=repeat].

You have to set only what’s different from the global layout.
\definelayout
[first]
[header=0mm,
headerdistance=0mm,
footer=25mm,
footerdistance=5mm]

Wolfgang and Wagner, thank you for taking the time to respond to this.
I am using MkIV. I just updated to the latest beta (I had been running
one beta behind). I was intentionally not using layout inheritance in
my \definelayout commands to eliminate the possibility of a problem in
the inheritance mechanism.
Interaction with columnsets also seems to be part of the problem, as I
will try to explain.
1. In a layout with no columnset: \definelayout[first] creates a
unique layout for the first page and returns to the default layout on
page 2. BUT from page 3 onwards, the text does not go all the way to
the bottom of the text area (although \showframe indicates that the
text area is correct). A workaround is to add
\definelayout[current][...parameters that undo the first-page
parameters...].
2. In a layout with a columnset
(\definecolumnset[body][n=2,balancing=yes]): use of
\definelayout[first] causes failure with the error message below.
Ignoring warnings and forcing Context to continue results in a pdf
with \showframe lines drawn correctly, but text not filling the whole
column height, as described previously.

More testing with the old columns mechanism instead of columnset:
\startcolumns[n=2] produces roughly the same result as no columns, the
text stops short of the bottom of the page. However, the
\definelayout[current] workaround I mentioned does not solve the
problem in this case.
I'm quite willing to abandon the columnset mechanism if I can get a
working solution with columns.
