Description

A makeup is a separate page, like a title page or colofon. There is one standard makeup page, but you can define more if needed.

It is a page type with a special layout / header & footer sections that last only temporarily. The key point is that such a page does not (have to) rely on the current page layout style, which is especially useful for title pages.

By default the page layout set up with \setuplayout is being reused. However, a custom page layout can be used as well. \definemakeup automatically uses a layout defined with \definelayout with the same name as the makeup.

There are two different ways to switch to the defined makeups:

\startmakeup [custom]
 … some content …
\stopmakeup

and

\startcustommakeup
 … some content …
\stopcustommakeup

Examples

Set the bodyfont on just the makeup page

\definemakeup [custom] [style={\switchtobodyfont[heros,14pt]}]

Make sure page numbering is incremented using pagestate=start

\definemakeup [title] [doublesided=empty, pagestate=start]

\starttext
\input knuth
\starttitlemakeup
Title
\stoptitlemakeup
\input knuth
\stoptext
