Hi Jörg,
pagestate=stop is the default in makeups, so you don’t need to add it.
\tf only changes the font to roman, but not the size. I don’t know
whether there is a switch that does that.
The best way avoid problems when using font switches is to enclose them
in braces.
Such as in (complete sample):
\definemakeup[titlepage][doublesided=no]
\starttext
\starttitlepagemakeup[top=,]
{\ss
information \crlf
about \crlf
university \crlf
and \crlf
course \par}
\blank[4*line]
{\bfd \ss
Paper \par}
\blank
{\bfa \ss
by me}
\blank[4*line]
{\ss
my \crlf
information, \crlf
adress \crlf
etc.}
\stoptitlepagemakeup
I hope it helps,
For a titlepage I suggest to use a different mechanism to select a certain font
style and size.
You can also use \definedfont[…]{…} instead of \startfont[…] … \stopfont.
\definemakeup[titlepage][doublesided=no]
\starttext
\starttitlepagemakeup[top=]
\startfont[Sans]
\startlines
information
about
university
and
course
\stoplines
\stopfont
\blank[4*line]
\startfont[SansBold sa d]
Paper
\stopfont
\blank
\startfont[SansBold sa b]
by me
\stopfont
\blank[4*line]
\startfont[Sans]
\startlines
my
information,
adress
etc.
\stoplines
\stopfont
\stoptitlepagemakeup
\stoptext

Thank you very much Pablo, indeed it helps :)
Meanwhile I had found a solution by putting as well title and subtitle
(author name) into groups
\begingroup ... \endgroup
but your braces solution is less typing and less distraction from the text.
You’re welcome, Jörg.
Braces are also easier to be mistyped or overlooked. It depends on the
text itself.
BTW, I forgot to mention (just in case it might help) that grouping is
also required for language switchs:
\starttext
\hsize\zeropoint
\de {\em Lesbarkeit}, but legibility.
No, it’s {\en legibility}.
\stoptext
Greetings,
