Dear list,
for one of the documents I share with others, I need to add five pagenumber series.
I’m already using realpage, userpage and subpage. I have just tried to use \definecounter, but it doesn’t work.
\setuppapersize[A9] \definecounter[ncounter] [way=bychapter] \starttext \rawcountervalue[ncounter]\page \incrementcounter[ncounter][1] \page \lastcountervalue[ncounter] \chapter{} \lastcountervalue[ncounter] \stoptext
I don’t know how to link any page increment to the defined counter. Although method is page, this seems to be related to a different issue.
My question is: how could I get new pagenumber series using \definecounter?
While I think there are better solutions to your problem (e.g. adding the section number as prefix) you can increment a counter with each page. The hard part is to find a hook for this because AFAIK there is no simple key to do this (e.g. \setuppaper[setups=...]). What you have to do in this case is to append the counter settings to a token register which is called when ConTeXt has finished a page. \definecounter [section:chapter] [way=bychapter] \definecounter [section:section] [way=bysection] \appendtoks \incrementcounter[section:chapter]% \incrementcounter[section:section]% \to \everybeforepagebody \startsetups[header:pagenumber] \starttabulate[|l|rw(1em)|] \NC Pagenumber \EQ \pagenumber \NC\NR \NC Chapter \EQ \rawcountervalue[section:chapter] \NC\NR \NC Section \EQ \rawcountervalue[section:section] \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stopsetups \setupheadertexts[\directsetup{header:pagenumber}] \starttext %\dorecurse{10}{\samplefile{lorem}} \dorecurse{5} {\chapter{Chapter \convertnumber{word}{#1}} \dorecurse{5} {\section{Section \convertnumber{word}{##1}} \dorecurse{\numexpr#1+##1\relax}{\samplefile{lorem}}}} \stoptext Wolfgang
