\setuppagenumbering doublesided generates blank pages

Hi there,

I am a newbie, and have *seem* to have discovered that

\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] generates a blank page
between chapters.


\setupheadertexts[chapter]

\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location={header,inmargin}]

\starttext

\startchapter[title={October 2000}]

Blah One

\stopchapter


\startchapter[title={November 2000}]

Blah Two

\stopchapter

\stoptext

This produces a PDF in TeXworks containing 4 pages:

   - Page 1 with a header an 'October 2000' header and 'Blah One' content
   - Page 2 with a header an 'October 2000' header only.
   - Page 3 with a header an 'November 2000' header and 'Blah Two' content
   - Page 4 which is completely blank

If I remove the \setuppagenumbering line the PDF contains just two pages,
with the expected content.

I'm using "ConTeXt ver: 2019.10.11 15:47 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.10.25 int:
english/english"

Am I doing something wrong, or is this just a bug?

Thanks for your help. ConTeXt is making my life *much* easier right now!

Kerry

With \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] you get a doublesided 
document
with left and right pages. The default setting for chapters is to start 
always on a right page
which can lead to empty left pages.

The normal layout are single sided document 
(\setuppagenumbering[alternative=singlesided])
with right pages only which can't lead to empty pages unless you add an 
extra check at the
begin of each chapter.

There is also a third mode which creates the same layout on each page 
but you can
checl for left and right pages, this mode is enabled with
\setuppagenumber[alternative={singlesided,doublesided}].

What Wolfgang said, and you probably want

\setuphead[chapter][page=yes] % or "no", but not "right"

see https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuphead
and https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/page
