Dear List,

I am trying to set up double pages at the beginning of a new part in such a
way that:
- on an odd/right-hand page there will be number and the title typeset in
some fashion, and
- on the even/left-hand page there should be a full (printpaper)size image.

If the part title ends up on an even page then there is no additional page
break (but then image and title are not on the same double-page obviously).
But there is a page break (and an empty left page) when the part title ends
up on an odd page (when you put page=right e.g.) as in the following
example:

%
% How to get rid of the empty page preceding a part title?
%

\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided]

\setupexternalfigures[location=default] % cow


% startTEXpage does not increase page number => incrementpagenumber

% trimming in the print shop => printpaperwidth/height

\define[1]\FullScreen{\startTEXpage\externalfigure[#1][width=\printpaperwidth,height=\printpaperheight]\stopTEXpage\incrementpagenumber}

% tried page=yes/no/right/odd

\setuphead

[part]

[placehead=yes,

page=right,

before={\nowhitespace}, % ???

]


\starttext

\completecontent

\FullScreen{cow}

\startpart[title={A nice part}]

Some text ...

\stoppart

\FullScreen{cow}

\startpart[title={A nice part}]

Some text ...

\stoppart

\stoptext


On an additional note: I would love to utilise the XML capabilities of
context, so ... is the usage of \startTEpage XML-export-friendly?

Anyway, best regards, thank you for your patience in advance and a happy
weekend for everybody!

Cheers
Christian
