Hi, shouldn't this work? \setupuserpagenumber[number=34] \starttext \dorecurse{20}{\userpagenumber \page} \stoptext I must admit that I'm pretty confused about pagenumbering; there are too many options of \setup...pagenumber and \setup...pagenumbering for my simple brain now, and I often don't know which is supposed to do what. All best Thomas

I don't know if that's the recommended way, but I set the page number as follows:
\setcounter [userpage] [34]
Thank you. Yes that works, but I thought that \setupuserpagenumber was the "proper" way to do those things.
1. \setuppagenumber is a synonym for \setupuserpagenumber 2. The “number=XX” setting doesn’t work in MkIV and you have to use \setupcounter. Wolfgang

Thank you for your words of wisdom, Wolfgang. Wouldn't it make sense to have backwards compatibility? Thomas

yes and no .. the original setup commands date from the time (previous century) that there were less such commands so we ended up with combining features in one command that should have been split. The same is true for footnotes, where we now split in the note handler itself and the rendering (in fact, setting up doublesided should be in setuplayout but i'll keep that one) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Perhaps both locations could be supported for some time. \setuppagenumbering is indeed an awkward place to set up the layout.
maybe after the current is made (which happens sometime within the next two weeks) best make sure that we have no serious bugs (experimental features apart) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
