Hello,

I have a document consisting of title page, some introduction which should have pages numbered with roman numerals, and finally the real content

\setuphead[subject][page=odd,style=\ss\bfb] \setuppagenumbering[location=]

\starttext \startstandardmakeup title page \stopstandardmakeup

\startfrontmatter \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals] \setupfootertexts[page \pagenumber{}] \subject{some intro pages} \input tufte \stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter \setupfootertexts[page \pagenumber{} of \totalnumberofpages] \dorecurse{10}{\subject{real content} \dorecurse{\recurselevel}{\input knuth} } \stopbodymatter

\stoptext

Now the problems: 1.) The second page starts counting at 1, while counting should start at page 3. This can be solved by using another \startstandardmakeup\strut\stopstandardmakeup.

2.) The last page says "page 26 of 27" - the total page number is indeed 27, but counting started on the second page, so it never reaches the last number.

3.) I would like the page number on the first page of bodymatter to be "page 1 of 23" instead of "page 4 of 27", and the last one to ge "page 23 of 23" instead of "page 26 of 27"

There is some way=bychapter setting for page numering, but in that case there are no suitable chapters/sections available.

Any hints appreciated ...

Thanks a lot, Mojca

Hi Mojca,

maybe I'm a little bit late with my answer

Hello Wolfgang, I hardcoded the number when I needed it, but you proposal is very useful for the next time when I will need it again. I only need to figure out where to store it on the wiki/texshow, so that it will be possible to find it agin. (This still cannot handle the problem if I wanted to number "last page of frontmatter", but I don't need it at the moment.)

but I stumpled across this question after I was searching for something in the archive and I found the following solution.

[...] \startbodymatter \page[odd] % only \page give a empty before the \section \setuppagenumber[number=1] \setupfootertexts[page \pagenumber{} of \lastpagenumber] % no \totalnumber...

Thanks a lot :)

\dorecurse{10}{\subject{real content} \dorecurse{\recurselevel}{\input knuth} } \stopbodymatter [...]
