Hi all,

in my document \startchapter and \starttitle starts a new chapter on the
right (odd) page. So sometimes, there is a blank even page just before a
new chapter.

I would like to manipulate this blank even page.

There are several things I would like to do, eg. having no headers and
footers, setting the background color to a named color, placing an image
or some graphics on the page.

Is there a way to define such a page, name it and call it in
\startchapter so that it is placed on the left side.
See https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/457428/323
Thanks a lot, but I wasn't looking for a way to just delete page numbers
but to style the empty page in arbitrary ways.

Maybe it is better to do this manually.

I would let chapter open on even pages too and just insert a styled page
by hand.

I place an epigraph on verso page before a few chapters with the following:

   \definehead[ChapterEpigraph][title]
   \setuphead [ChapterEpigraph][
                          page={yes,left},
                          insidesection=\vfill,
                          aftersection={\vfill\vfill},
                          header=empty,
                          placehead=no,
                         ]

   %% The following always creates a verso page if there is an
   %%   epigraph to set or not.

   \startsetups chapter:epigraph
        \doifelsebuffer{ChapterEpigraph}
            {\page[yes,header,footer,left]
             \dontleavehmode
             \vfill
             \getbuffer   [ChapterEpigraph]
             \resetbuffer [ChapterEpigraph]
             \vfill
             \vfill
            }
            {\page[yes,header,footer,left]}
        \page[yes,header,footer,right]
   \stopsetups

   <...>

   \stopchapter%   end previous chapter

   \startChapterEpigraph% no epigraph on next

   \stopChapterEpigraph

   \startchapter[reference={cha:no-epigraph-chapter},
                  title={Chapter with no epigraph}]
   <...>

   \stopchapter%

   \startChapterEpigraph

   <stuff to put in epigraph here>

   \stopChapterEpigraph

   \startchapter[reference={cha:next-chapter},
                  title={Chapter with epigraph}]

   <...>

I am not sure where I got the hints for this. I haven't revisited it for a while, and it does look like there is some redundant use of \vfill, but it worked for me. You may be able to build on it.
