Dear ConTeXt folks,
I am trying to format the title page for a diploma thesis. Looking at
the Wiki most of the title or cover pages just have the title centered
and maybe a subtitle right below [1].
\starttext
\definemakeup[titlepage][align=middle]
\starttitlepagemakeup
{\definedfont[Serif at 20pt]University}
\blank[big]
{\definedfont[Serif at 20pt]\sc Institute}
\vfill
{\definedfont[Serif at 20pt]Diploma thesis}
\blank[big]
{\definedfont[Serif at 30pt] \setstrut \strut Interesting topic}
\vfill

1. Is using `\blank` the recommended way to format the page? Or is using
boxes and placing them manually “better”?
2. Looking at the output it is not centered exactly and a little bit to
the left. Why is this the default? Does anyone know? Looking at the
manual [2] in chapter page design (p. 29, screen version) this seems to
be the backspace value. Is there an easy way to center it according to
the whole paper width? Additionally I would have guessed it to be more
on the right when glueing or trussing up(?) (German binden) the pages.
Thanks and I am sorry for the sleight off-topic second question,
Paul
