Dear gang,

Related to the last thread ("Numbered, counted snippets in running text"). Let us consider the same macro:

=======
\newcount \MQT
\MQT=1
\define[1]\NUM{%
\framed[offset=overlay,frame=off,background=color,backgroundcolor=green]
{\starttabulate[|c|]
\NC \mbox{\the\MQT} \NR
\NC #1 \NR
\stoptabulate}%
\advance\MQT by 1
\hbox{}}

\startTEXpage
\dorecurse{5}{Unnumbered Text \NUM{Numbered Text} }
\stopTEXpage
=======

How can one make a conversion of the numerals output by the \newcount? That is, how so we replace the default U+0030-U+0039 digits (0 1 2 3..) with some defined conversion (e.g., \romannumerals)?

Is there a ConTeXt way to setup new counts so that they can automatically use the conversion mechanism?
