two additional pagenumber series
Dear list, for one of the documents I share with others, I need to add five pagenumber series. I’m already using realpage, userpage and subpage. I have just tried to use \definecounter, but it doesn’t work. \setuppapersize[A9] \definecounter[ncounter] [way=bychapter] \starttext \rawcountervalue[ncounter]\page \incrementcounter[ncounter][1] \page \lastcountervalue[ncounter] \chapter{} \lastcountervalue[ncounter] \stoptext I don’t know how to link any page increment to the defined counter. Although method is page, this seems to be related to a different issue. My question is: how could I get new pagenumber series using \definecounter? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

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. 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 \startsetups[header:pagenumber] \starttabulate[|l|rw(1em)|] \NC Pagenumber \EQ \pagenumber \NC\NR \NC Chapter \EQ \rawcountervalue[section:chapter] \NC\NR \NC Section \EQ \rawcountervalue[section:section] \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stopsetups \setupheadertexts[\directsetup{header:pagenumber}] \starttext %\dorecurse{10}{\samplefile{lorem}} \dorecurse{5} {\chapter{Chapter \convertnumber{word}{#1}} \dorecurse{5} {\section{Section \convertnumber{word}{##1}} \dorecurse{\numexpr#1+##1\relax}{\samplefile{lorem}}}} \stoptext Wolfgang

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).

\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
