In MKIV, I am still unable to get lower-case Roman numeral page numbers on the front matter pages, but if I use frontpart in the \defineconversionset instead of frontmatter, the page numbers in the ToC are converted.

Also I use \startstructureblockenvironment[backpart] instead of \startsectionblockenvironment[backmatter].

You can use both but we should mention in manuals, the wiki etc. only the second.

I used to think I was of average intelligence but I can't figure out to do the most basic thing in ConTeXt. My current problems with this simple code are: 1. Front matter page numbers are not lower-case Roman numerals although they are listed as such in the TOC. 2. The Introduction is not listed in the TOC. 3. Page numbering isn't reset to 1 in the bodymatter section. Obviously, I'm not reading the correct documentation or am too stupid to understand what I am reading. \definehead [intro][chapter] \setuphead [intro][incrementnumber=no] \definestructureconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals] %pagenumbers in TOC not converted if frontmatter \definestructureconversionset[bodymatter:pagenumber] [][numbers] \setuplist[chapter][pageconversionset=pagenumber] \setuplist[intro][pageconversionset=pagenumber] \startstructureblockenvironment[frontmatter] %whether frontpart or frontmatter seems to make no difference \setuppagenumber[number=1] \setuppagenumbering[state=start,location=bottom,conversion=romannumerals] \definecombinedlist [content][intro,chapter,section] \stopstructureblockenvironment \startstructureblockenvironment[bodymatter] \setuppagenumber[state=start,number=1] \setuppagenumbering[state=start,location=bottom,conversion=numbers] \stopstructureblockenvironment \startstructureblockenvironment[backmatter] \stopstructureblockenvironment \starttext \startfrontmatter % errors on startfrontpart %sample front matter \input knuth %page numbers not being converted to Roman numerals \completecontent[alternative=c,criterium=all] \chapter{Preface} \input knuth \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \intro{Introduction} %is not appearing in TOC \input knuth %page number not being set to 1 \chapter{I Was Born} \input knuth \chapter{I Observe} \input knuth \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \stopbackmatter \stoptext Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax blog: www.TomBenjey.com
