== Typesetting areas ==
</texcode>
For the page numbers you can use absolute numbers (as above), relative numbers (like +1, -2) or the keywords odd, even, first and last.
<texcode>
\setuplayout[ % default layout (right page)
...
]
\definelayout[even][ % different layout on left pages
...
]
</texcode>
If you define additional layouts in a doublepage (duplex) setup, remember to think mirrored: leftmargin defines the right margin, backspace is the distance from the spine to the right edge of the text area etc.
