Hi Miguel,

I’m afraid it isn’t entirely clear whether you intend to ask something
or not.

Section blocks are intended for that.

Just a comment, if your cover (or title) page involves a one and only
single page, you may use makeups, such as in:

  \starttext
  \startmakeup[standard][pagestate=start]
  \dorecurse{25}{\input knuth}
  \stopmakeup
  \stoptext

My sample explicitly displays that makeups are intended for a single page.

Since actual content for that makeup would fit in six pages without the
makeup, it looks weird inside it.

If you are showing your code to list members, fine.

Sorry, but if there is a question here, I’m afraid you need to be more
explicit asking your question.

Just some comments:

> %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

In a minimal sample, comments as the previous one don’t provide any clue
to understand your code or the issue you might be dealing with.

It is wiser to keep the sample to its minimal form.

It is better to provide actual content than a file name.

BTW, if its contents cannot be in more than a single page, the approach
suggested above might be easier.

Empty brackets are not required here.

I would say that this is extremely small even for an "x" to fit in.

Again, just in case it might help,

Pablo
