The following code is intended to produce lower-case Roman numeral page numbers for the first 3 pages before switching to Hindu-Arabic numerals starting with the Introduction. However, I get Hindu-Arabic numerals instead of the lower-case Roman numerals page numbers. \definehead [intro][chapter] \setuphead [intro][number=no] \setuppagenumbering [state=start, conversion=romannumerals, location=bottom] \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \definecombinedlist [content][intro,chapter,section] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[backmatter] \stopsectionblockenvironment \starttext \setuppagenumber[state=start] \startfrontmatter %sample front matter \input knuth \completecontent[alternative=c,criterium=all] \chapter{Preface} \input knuth \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \setuppagenumber[state=start,conversion=number,number=1] \intro{Introduction} \input knuth \setupheadnumber[chapter][0] %resets first chapter number to 1 \chapter{I Was Born} \input knuth \chapter{I Observe} \input knuth \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \stopbackmatter \stoptext Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax blog: www.TomBenjey.com
