Description

A makeup is a separate page, like a title page or colofon. The page has a special layout, allowing for custom and temporary header & footer sections. The idea is that such pages need not rely on the current page layout style, which is especially useful for title pages. There is one standard makeup page, but you can define more if needed.

indeed they are obsolete ... layers are better for that

Introduction

A makeup is an special kind of page that some documents might contain. It is intended for covers, colophons or similar pages. Their key feature is that they don’t have to rely on the current page layout style.

There is one standard makeup, but more can be defined when needed.

The way to invoke them is one of the following two:

\definemakeup[custom][align=middle]
\starttext
\startmakeup[custom]
This is a title page.
\stopmakeup

\input zapf
\stoptext
\definemakeup[custom][align=middle]
\starttext
\startcustommakeup
This is a title page.
\stopcustommakeup

\input zapf
\stoptext

By default, makeups lack both header and footers. They are vertically centered and horizontally aligned to the left.

Configuration options can be found at \setupmakeup.

Vertical aligment of makeups

Makeups are centered vertically by default.

The way to align them vertically to the top or to the bottom is the following:

\setuppapersize[A6]
\starttext
\startstandardmakeup[top=,]
This is vertically aligned to the top.
\stopstandardmakeup

\startstandardmakeup[bottom=,]
This is vertically aligned to the bottom.
\stopstandardmakeup

\startstandardmakeup
This is the default: vertically centered.
\stopstandardmakeup
\stoptext

Horizontal aligment is specified with the align option.
