Thanks Jan, that is an extensive bit of work below! Might take me a while to digest, but I'll explore it carefully. Julian On 3/9/20 6:29 pm, Jan Willem Flamma wrote:
Dear Julian,
I use something similar using a main product file, an environment file that contain the styling and several components that build up the frontmatter, the manual and the appendices.
Below my setup where I start the roman numbering on the table of contents page (page 5 or v in roman)
Once the bodymatter starts the pagenumber is set to the arabic 1 (see below in the main product file)
You should be able to copy and adapt to your needs.
Kind regards,

Am seeking to have frontmatter pages in roman numerals and from Chapter 1 onwards in arabic numerals. I have achieved something of the kind, but page 1 (arabic) is appearing on the last page of the frontmatter and not the first page of Chapter 1. I do not know why this is happening. My setup for page numbering is as follows (something I found somewhere - wiki? elsewhere? Not sure. I didn't make it up!):
\definestructureconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals] \definestructureconversionset[bodypart:pagenumber] [][numbers] \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=romannumerals] \setuplist[chapter][pageconversionset=pagenumber] \setuppagenumber[number=1] \stopsectionblockenvironment
\startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \setuppagenumber[number=1] \stopsectionblockenvironment
The frontmatter is some 16 pages worth (ends on a verso page but that verso carries the arabic number 1 instead of page xvi which it should be, since the final paragraph on that page ends with \stopfrontmatter. That means Chapter 1 (immediately after \startbodymatter) is now page 2 instead of page 1!
I tried a slightly simpler version of the above which I found on Stackexchange:
\definestructureconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals]
\startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart]
\setcounter[userpage][1] \stopsectionblockenvironment
but it gave me the same result. Any idea how I can get the correct result?
Julian
