I need to put the copyright text on the second page of my ConTeXt document, on the verso page. I am using \startfrontmatter and \startstandardmakeup to create the title and authorship pages in the front matter. I tried three ways to add the copyright to the second page, but each failed:

\starttext
    \startfrontmatter
        \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, state=stop]
        \startstandardmakeup
            Title
            \page[left] Copyright (a) % on first page
        \stopstandardmakeup
            \page[left] Copyright (b) % on fourth page
        \startstandardmakeup
            \page[left] Copyright (c) % on fifth page
        \stopstandardmakeup
        \startstandardmakeup
            Author
        \stopstandardmakeup
    \stopfrontmatter
    \startbodymatter
    \stopbodymatter
\stoptext

How can I place text on the second page of my document?

  • The standard makeup comes with its own page break which defaults to the next recto page. With \setupmakeup[standard][page=yes] it moves forward only one page. (You will have to remove your manual breaks.)

  • The page option control whether the standard makeup starts from an odd or even page (or either). But, by default, a makeup assumes that one is working with a doublesided document and also inserts a page after the current page. To disable that, one has to use doublesided=no.

By default, the standard makeup assumes that you are working with a double-sided document and want each page to start on the right. You have two options:

  1. Redefine the standard makeup to use a single-sided layout, and start each page on any side:

    \setupmakeup[standard][page=yes, doublesided=no]

  2. Define a new makeup that inherits all parameters from standard makeup, but changes the value of page and doublesided. This will allow you to use standard makeup in other parts of your document.

    \definemakeup[anypage][page=yes, doublesided=no]

    You can then use this as \startanypagemakeup ... \stopanypagemakeup.

Here is a minimal example using the first suggestion:

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setupmakeup[standard][page=yes, doublesided=no]
\starttext
    \startfrontmatter
        \startstandardmakeup
            Title
        \stopstandardmakeup
        \startstandardmakeup
           \copyright \currentdate[year]
        \stopstandardmakeup
        \startstandardmakeup
            Author
        \stopstandardmakeup
    \stopfrontmatter
\stoptext
