I have three issues where page number formatting in the table of contents is wrong compared to the pages themselves:
i admit that this is a bit tricky; has to do with how numbers are used for selective purposed; maybe i'll rewrite that part some day (no need to be efficient nowadays)
1. The separator character in the actual pagenumbers is "/". In the ToC it displays as a "-".
\start \setuppagenumbering[numberseparator=/] \placecombinedlist[Xontents] \stop
2. I used "left=A" on the pagenumbering command in the appendices because appendices are numbered A1, A2 etc. This gives the required output for the actual pagenumbers, but there is no 'A' prefix in the ToC.
indeed, since left/right is cosmetics an dit's easier to add that than to remov eit when you dont wan it, so: \setuplist[Appchapter][pagecommand=A] % or cleaner: pagecommand=\AppPrefix and \def\AppPrefix#1{A\enspace#1}
3. Similarly in the backmatter I have added a 'I/' prefix to the pagenumber ("left={I/}"), which works on the pages but is not reflected in the ToC.
now you know how to do that wikiable:
