Roman numerals in running heads in frontmatter.
When I set up running heads in frontmattter like this: \definestructureconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals] \setupheadertexts [{\getmarking[title]}] [{\pagenumber}] [{\pagenumber}] [{\Titlea}] (where \Titlea is a string containing the book title) everything is fine except the page numbers in the running heads are in arabic and not roman format. On the footers on \title pages the numbers are roman as expected.. How do I fix this? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!

Sorry, John, but this is only a guess. This might do what you intend: \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, location=] \def\Titlea{The Book Title} \definestructureconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals] \setupheadertexts [{\getmarking[title]}] [pagenumber] [pagenumber] [{\Titlea}] \starttext \startfrontmatter \dorecurse{10}{\title{My Chapter Title}\dorecurse{20}{\input knuth\par}} \stopfrontmatter \stoptext In short, [{\pagenumber}] should read [pagenumber]. Please, provide a minimal sample that shows the issues you’re confronting with your requiests. Just in case it might help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
