> 2) What \startstandardmakeup do then? And what is the purpose of defining custom makeups? From the source (and I am positive this is also mentioned in the big manual): 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. As can be seen in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/setupmakeup 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.
