When I set up running heads in frontmattter
like this:
\definestructureconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals]
\setupheadertexts
        [{\getmarking[title]}] 
        [{\pagenumber}]
        [{\pagenumber}]
        [{\Titlea}]
(where \Titlea is a string containing the book
title) everything is fine except the page
numbers in the running heads are in arabic
and not roman format. 
On the footers on \title pages the numbers are
roman as expected..
How do I fix this?
Sorry, John, but this is only a guess.
This might do what you intend:
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,
location=] \def\Titlea{The Book Title}
\definestructureconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals]
\setupheadertexts
        [{\getmarking[title]}]
        [pagenumber]
        [pagenumber]
        [{\Titlea}]
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\dorecurse{10}{\title{My Chapter
Title}\dorecurse{20}{\input knuth\par}}
\stopfrontmatter \stoptext
In short, [{\pagenumber}] should read
[pagenumber].
Please, provide a minimal sample that shows the
issues you’re confronting with your requiests.
Just in case it might help,
Pablo
That was the change I needed. Thanks!
