Thank you! This works. But tell me: How do you know this? The manual and the website don’t explain it this way… Best regards Werner On 22 May 2014, at 12:16, Otared Kavian wrote:

Hi,

In fact you should use \setupuserpagenumber[number=1] as in the following example:

%%%% begin example \starttext \startfrontmatter \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=Romannumerals] \input knuth.tex \stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numbers] \setupuserpagenumber[number=1] \input ward.tex \stopbodymatter \stoptext %%%% end example

Best regards: OK

I don’t unterstand \startfrontmatter, \starbodymatter etc.

I thought, the frontmatter has roman numerals, the bodymatter normal and so on. This is not automatically so. Now founf how to make this, bus the problem is: I can’t reset the page number. I believed, it shoul work like this:

\startfrontmatter \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=Romannumerals] % some stuff \stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numbers] \setnumber[page]{1} %some stuff \stopbodymatter This doesn’t work, may be because \setnumber is not a command in ConTeXt?

Where is my error?

Thank you once more! This looks better. It’s a pity that such things are not »wikified«… ;) But there is a new surprise: What is knute.tex, ward.tex and tufte.tex? Are there more of those texte? And how does one finde them? On 22 May 2014, at 12:32, Otared Kavian wrote:

Actually the issue was discussed some time ago and Wolfgang Schuster explained that. In fact after sending you the previous answer I realized that he explained also that the right way is to use \defineconversionset and then reset the userpagenumber when necessary: look at the following example:

%%%% begin example \defineconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals] \defineconversionset[bodypart:pagenumber] [][numbers] \defineconversionset[backpart:pagenumber] [][characters]

\starttext \startfrontmatter \input knuth.tex \stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter \setupuserpagenumber[number=1] \input ward.tex \stopbodymatter

\startbackmatter \setupuserpagenumber[number=1] \input tufte.tex \stopbackmatter \stoptext %%%% end example

It would be nice to wikify things each time one learns something…

This is the problem: It works, but I don’t unterstand why. I make just my first steps with ConTeXt… Anyway: I found out, that this is the best solution: \defineconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals] \defineconversionset[bodypart:pagenumber][][numbers] \defineconversionset[backpart:pagenumber] [][characters \defineconversionset[appendix:pagenumber][][Characters] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversionset=pagenumber,way=byblock] Now it’s not nessecary to reset the pagenumber. Thanks for the hint about the Sample texts. Best regards. WH On 22 May 2014, at 12:56, Otared Kavian wrote:

Once you think you have well understood something do not hesitate to wikify it…

Look where you have installed the ConTeXt tree, in the following directory

tex/texmf-context/tex/context/sample

you’ll find some other sample files which can be input for testing: they are very useful!
