Alternative solution: \definelayout [titlepage] [header=0pt, footer=0pt, backspace=4cm, width=12cm] \definestartstop [titlepage] [before={\setuplayout[titlepage]}, after={\page[right]\setuplayout[reset]}] \starttext \starttitlepage \startcolumns \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par} \stopcolumns \stoptitlepage \input knuth \stoptext Wolfgang ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
