Hello,
I have a document consisting of title page, some introduction which
should have pages numbered with roman numerals, and finally the real
content
\setuphead[subject][page=odd,style=\ss\bfb]
\setuppagenumbering[location=]
\starttext
\startstandardmakeup
title page
\stopstandardmakeup
\startfrontmatter
\setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals]
\setupfootertexts[page \pagenumber{}]
\subject{some intro pages}
\input tufte
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
\setupfootertexts[page \pagenumber{} of \totalnumberofpages]
\dorecurse{10}{\subject{real content} \dorecurse{\recurselevel}{\input knuth} }
\stopbodymatter
\stoptext
Now the problems:
1.) The second page starts counting at 1, while counting should start
at page 3. This can be solved by using another
\startstandardmakeup\strut\stopstandardmakeup.
2.) The last page says "page 26 of 27" - the total page number is
indeed 27, but counting started on the second page, so it never
reaches the last number.
3.) I would like the page number on the first page of bodymatter to be
"page 1 of 23" instead of "page 4 of 27", and the last one to ge "page
23 of 23" instead of "page 26 of 27"
There is some way=bychapter setting for page numering, but in that
case there are no suitable chapters/sections available.
Any hints appreciated ...
Hi Mojca,
see
http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/magazines/mag-0002.pdf
(Page ranges) for the details.
Thanks a lot for the pointer. But the following example fails:

\setuppagenumbering
	[location=]
\setupsubpagenumber
	[state=start]
\setupfootertexts
	[page \subpageno{} of \nofsubpages]

\starttext
	abc
\stoptext

! Missing number, treated as zero.

                   {
<argument> page \subpageno {
                            } of \nofsubpages {}{}{}
\firstoftwoarguments #1#2->#1

\doattributes ...sname #1#2\@EA \endcsname \fi {#4
                                                  }\dostopattributes
\dosingletexts ...atetexts {#1#2#5}{#6{}{}{}}}}}}}
                                                  \egroup
<argument> ...tk \v!footer \v!text \c!middletext }
                                                  \hss }\hskip -\makeupwidth...
...
l.11 \stoptext

Plus, I don't know how to instruct "way=by..." to reset the counter at
the boundary of frontmatter/bodymatter

Thanks a lot,
