Hello,
I am new to ConTeXt and was trying to understand whether the following
behaviour of \definelayout is expected.
Consider this example,
> \setuplayout[grid=yes]
> \showgrid
> \definelayout[odd][
> backspace=50mm,
> width=90mm,
> topspace=20mm,
> header=0mm,
> footer=0mm,
> height=250mm,
> ]
>
> \starttext
> \showframe
> \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth }
> \stoptext
which I compile with `context example.tex` (ConTeXt Process Management 1.06,
current version: 2024.02.27 09:18, obtained via TeXLive 2024).
While the document's layout updates on page 2 (at least, what's being shown by
\showframe), the text is typeset using the previous (page 1) layout until it
encounters the next \par.
This repeats on the transition from page 2 to 3.
I have tried to look for an answer in the following texts to no avail,
- The layout guide: "It's in the details"
- The "ConTEXt Mark IV: an excursion"
- The mailing list: Peter Hopcroft chimed in with a similar issue in Dec 2022
(which I did not manage to replicate; it appears the solution was to enforce
paragraphs at the layout change?)
Is this just the expected behaviour of the layout engine or am I missing
something in my preamble?
I would very much appreciate your insights, thank you in advance!
Louis
