On page 17, the ConTeXt manual mentions the commands
\startfrontmatter - \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter - \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter - \stopbackmatter
What's the precise use and benefit of these commands, other a cleaner project structure ?

You could use it to use different numbering methods for each parts. You could also use them to use roman numbering in the frontmatter and normal arabic numbers for the rest of the document and of this can be done in the environment file without hacking in the document itself (search for bodyfontenvironment in the mail archive). \starttext \startfrontmatter \chapter{Introduction} \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{Knuth} \chapter{Zapf} \stopbodymatter \startappendices \chapter{Tables} \chapter{Figures} \stopappendices \startbackmatter \chapter{Imprint} \stopbackmatter \stoptext Regards, Wolfgang
