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?
Do you have these settings in your document? \setupsectionblock [frontpart] [page=] \setupsectionblock [bodypart] [page=] When this is the case change them to \setupsectionblock [frontpart] [page=yes] \setupsectionblock [bodypart] [page=yes] or add \page before \stopfrontmatter. Wolfgang
