However, I find it interesting that in your response there was not a single real answer to any of my direct questions, nor a working example of what you admit should be a "simple matter".
I clearly wrote that I find the new structure code to be a bit confusing, and invited "experts" to answer your specific questions (also commented in my framework "example"):
% missing setups to: % 1. frontmatter pagenumbering conversion=romannumerals % 2. bodymatter pagenumbering "chapter-page" % 3. reset pagenumber for each chapter % 4. add blank pages if necessary to start chapters on odd pages. It should be simple, but I have not taken the time/not had the need to look into this. Perhaps someone can easily fill this in (that is if not put-off by the agressivity of the posting).
However, I believe that my original statements, which boil down to "This thing may be great, but it needs to be documented (or where is it documented?)", have been strengthened.
Look at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page the paragraph on Documentation, and, in particular, the revision of the user manual. I, too, feel the great need for the updated manual. For this reason, I am trying to join the effort to bring forward its revision (to be done in my "spare time"). Writing good, complete documentation is hard! Alan
