> 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.== Description ==
-- TacoA makeup is a single page with a special layout, in http://wwwallowing for custom and temporary header and footer sections.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/049662.html

Am I missing something? indeed they are obsolete ..colophons or similar ones. layers are better for that
some explanation added
In any case, it is important not to forget that makeup contents will never split in pages. All makeup contents must fit on a single page. There are predefined makeups: <code>standard</code>, <code>page</code>, <code>text</code> and <code>middle</code>. Of course, you can define as many as you may need. By default, makeups have the following properties: # They aren’t numbered in the final document (<code>pagestate=start</code> changes this).# In double-sided documents, they are always on an odd page with the next page empty (<code>page=yes</code> and <code>doublesided=no</code> change each of these defaults).# They don’t include header or footers (use either <code>headerstate=start</code> or <code>footerstate=start</code> to change it).# They are left aligned (use the <code>align</code> option key [and {{cmd|dontleavehmode}} with {{cmd|externalfigure}}]). All makeups have an associated layout. So you may use {{cmd|setuplayout}} to tweak it (besides configuring the makeup itself). == Examples == There are a few ways to invoke a custom makeup (and to compare it with the other predefined makeups): <texcode>\showframe\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, page=,]\setupmakeup[pagestate=start]\definemakeup[custom][align=middle]\starttext\startmakeup[custom]This is a title page.\stopmakeup \startmakeup[text]This is a title page.\stopmakeup \startmakeup[middle]This is a title page.\stopmakeup \startmakeup[standard]This is a title page.\stopmakeup \startmakeup[page]This is a title page.\stopmakeup \input zapf\stoptext</texcode> This may be easily extended to having multiple divider (title) pages: <texcode>\definemakeup[custom][align=middle]\starttext\startmakeup[custom]This is a divider page.\stopmakeup\input tufte \startmakeup[custom]This is a second divider page.\stopmakeup \input ward \startmakeup[custom]This is a divider title page.\stopmakeup \input zapf\stoptext</texcode> Another way to start a previously defined <code>makeup</code> is to put it into the <code>\start</code> invocation, i.e., \start<''name''>makeup</code>. In the above case we can simply refer to the ''custom'' <code>makeup</code> with <code>\startcustommakeup</code>: <texcode>\definemakeup[custom][align=middle]\starttext\startcustommakeupThis is a title page.\stopcustommakeup \input zapf\stoptext</texcode> And then extend to others: <texcode>\definemakeup[customone][align=middle]\definemakeup[customtwo][bottom=,] % See note below on Vertical Alignment\starttext\startcustomonemakeupThis is a title/divider page using customone.\stopcustomonemakeup \input ward \startcustomtwomakeupThis is a title/divider page using customtwo.\stopcustomtwomakeup \input zapf\stoptext</texcode> By default, makeups lack both header and footers. They are vertically centered and horizontally aligned to the left.. == Vertical Aligment == Makeups are centered vertically by default. The way to align them vertically to the top or to the bottom is the following: <texcode>\setuppapersize[A6]\starttext\startstandardmakeup[top=,]This is vertically aligned to the top.\stopstandardmakeup \startstandardmakeup[bottom=,]This is vertically aligned to the bottom.\stopstandardmakeup \startstandardmakeupThis is the default: vertically centered.\stopstandardmakeup\stoptext</texcode> == Horizontal Aligment == Horizontal aligment is specified with the <code>align</code> option as in: <texcode>\definemakeup[custom][align=flushright] % align here is used to set text flush to the right\starttext\startcustommakeupThis is a title page.\stopcustommakeup \input zapf\stoptext</texcode> == See Also == * {{cmd|setupmakeup}}* http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupmakeup* http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-- Hans, context/2010/049662.html* http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/051896.html [[Category:Basics]][[Category:Layout]]
