Hello,
I have a document consisting of title page, some introduction which should have pages numbered with roman numerals, and finally the real content
\setuphead[subject][page=odd,style=\ss\bfb] \setuppagenumbering[location=]
\starttext \startstandardmakeup title page \stopstandardmakeup
\startfrontmatter \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals] \setupfootertexts[page \pagenumber{}] \subject{some intro pages} \input tufte \stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter \setupfootertexts[page \pagenumber{} of \totalnumberofpages] \dorecurse{10}{\subject{real content} \dorecurse{\recurselevel}{\input knuth} } \stopbodymatter
\stoptext
Now the problems: 1.) The second page starts counting at 1, while counting should start at page 3. This can be solved by using another \startstandardmakeup\strut\stopstandardmakeup.
2.) The last page says "page 26 of 27" - the total page number is indeed 27, but counting started on the second page, so it never reaches the last number.
3.) I would like the page number on the first page of bodymatter to be "page 1 of 23" instead of "page 4 of 27", and the last one to ge "page 23 of 23" instead of "page 26 of 27"
There is some way=bychapter setting for page numering, but in that case there are no suitable chapters/sections available.
Any hints appreciated ...
Thanks a lot, Mojca

I guess the standard activation of that mechanism is 'bychapter', so there is no initialisation (withount a \chapter). If you use "way=bytext" it should (hopefully) work.
This is taken from my letter environment. It's from 2003 and I don't remember any details...
\def\MySubpagerange#1{% \ifnum\nofsubpages>1 \ifnum\numexpr\subpageno+1\relax<\nofsubpages {\ss\tfx\the\numexpr\subpageno+1\relax,-,\nofsubpages} \else \ifnum\numexpr\subpageno+1\relax=\nofsubpages\relax {\ss\tfx\nofsubpages}\fi \fi \fi }
% show subpagenumber in the right footer margin, if more than one page is used \setuppagenumbering[ location={footer,margin}, command=\MySubpagerange, ]
\setupsubpagenumber[way=bytext]
% show (sub)pagenumber in header ( no pagenumber at page 1) \setupheadertexts[{\ifnum\subpageno>1 \the\subpageno\fi}] \setupheader[style=small, state=high]
Plus, I don't know how to instruct "way=by..." to reset the counter at the boundary of frontmatter/bodymatter
It's only a counter, so (if there is no parameter support for your environment) you are free to reset it whenever you want. Just add some code to the 'before|after' parameter of front|bodymatter.

Hi Mojca,
maybe I'm a little bit late with my answer but I stumpled across this question after I was searching for something in the archive and I found the following solution.
[...] \startbodymatter \page[odd] % only \page give a empty before the \section \setuppagenumber[number=1] \setupfootertexts[page \pagenumber{} of \lastpagenumber] % no \totalnumber... \dorecurse{10}{\subject{real content} \dorecurse{\recurselevel}{\input knuth} } \stopbodymatter [...]

Hello Wolfgang,
I hardcoded the number when I needed it, but you proposal is very useful for the next time when I will need it again. I only need to figure out where to store it on the wiki/texshow, so that it will be possible to find it agin. (This still cannot handle the problem if I wanted to number "last page of frontmatter", but I don't need it at the moment.)

I run into similiar problems for my letter module to reset the page number for every letter in one document without reseting the global pagenumber, I extend my example to use subpagenumber instead of global numbers but I have a problem to get the right number in the table of content because ConTeXt writes the gobal page number in the galley files and ignores the subpagenumber.

Hi,
I am using imposition to arrange pages in a "booklet" format, a5 on a4. So after all the pages are printed out (doublesided) I can fold the stack in half to get my booklet.
So I am using the command
texexec --arrange --paperformat=a5a4 --printformat=up test.tex
...which works well.
Now I want to write content to appear on the last page. Here is my test file:
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \showframe \subject Front Cover
\dorecurse{10}{\input tufte \par}
\page[yes,last] \raggedcenter Back Cover \stoptext
But this does not do what I want. "Back Cover" appears on document page 9, but on page 4 (of 6) of the output pdf. It needs to be on page 1 of the output (i.e. opposite document page 1).
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I can safely say I would not have found that on my own...
Could I trouble you for a version to take me to the page *before*, i.e. the inside back cover? I now realise I may need to put content there too, and if not I can just do another \page to get to the outside back cover.

OK, but my real document *will* have these - this was just a minimal example. Originally I wanted to put the arrangment commands outside the document, but I then put them inside too in case it helped.

texexec --arrange --paperformat=a5a4 --printformat=up test2.textexexec test2
you need --arrange only for documents with a table of content, indices ...
OK, but my real document *will* have these - this was just a minimal example. Originally I wanted to put the arrangment commands outside the document, but I then put them inside too in case it helped.
You could use modes for a imposed and a normal document.
\startmode[fold] \setuppapersize[A5][A4] \setuparranging[2UP,rotated,doublesided] \stopmode
\startnotmode[fold] \setuppapersize[A5][A5] \stopnotmode
and process it with
texexec --arrange --mode=fold mydocument
and
texexec mydocument
