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

\stoptitlepagemakeup
\stoptext
1. Is using `\blank` the recommended way to format the page? Or is using
boxes and placing them manually “better”?
Normally I go for this quick and dirty first but eventually end up with
a page made with the layer mechanism (there is info on layers on the
wiki or grep the s-* files for examples.).
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.
because the default layout is not centered and standardmakeup uses the
standard layout
