Dear list,
for one of the documents I share with others, I need to add five pagenumber series. [...] 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.
Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang. The text structure is more complex. The document uses sections as second-level chapters. I mean, they have a page break before. It is a huge book, divided in parts, which contains units. Each unit contains the standard explanation, different explanation approaches, and other additional information in some units. Each unit is a chapter. The explanation, the exercise sets and the additional material are a section each. And both chapters and sections need to be numbered as page/lastpage (for each).
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 It is clear to me now what makes it works.
Now I have to adapt this to the huge document. Many thanks for your help again, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
