\setupsectionblock [name] [number=yes|no, page=yes|right, before=\command, after=\command]

this doesn't seem to work with ver: 2006.02.15 \setupsectionblock [frontmatter][number=no] \setuppagenumbering [location=footer, alternative=doublesided, left=$\diamond$\ , right=\ $\diamond$] \startfrontmatter\completecontent\stopfrontmatter i still get pagenumbers in the contents... also the manual says: By default there are four sectionblocks: \definesectionblock [bodypart] [headnumber=yes] \definesectionblock [appendices] [headnumber=yes] \definesectionblock [introductions] [headnumber=no] \definesectionblock [extroductions] [headnumber=no] does this mean i should define "frontmatter" first, or is it something else than a sectionblock? -f -- we must believe in free will. we have no choice.

Hi Frantisek, May be that the example on page 81 of the main manual is an idea. If you want to control the placing of the pagenumbers you can switch placing the number off by \setuppagenumering[location=] Herafter you can setup header and or footer to place the pagenumber at the place you want it.

\setupsectionblock [frontmatter][number=no]

\setuppagenumbering [location=footer, alternative=doublesided, left=$\diamond$\ , right=\ $\diamond$]

i am sorry, i am an idiot. number is for something else, right? i don't what, but i just assumed it is for page numbers.

so i am trying now:

\setupsectionblock [frontmatter] [before={\setuppagenumbering[state=none]}]

but i still get pagenumbers. what is the correct \setuppagenumbering parameter to turn off page numbers? \setuppagenumbering's state lists only "start" and "stop", but \setupsubpagenumber's state also lists "none".

the only way i don't get page numbers in the content is when i turn off pagenumbers for all the document:

\setuppagenumbering [location=footer, alternative=doublesided, state=none]

does \setuppagenumbering override \setupsectionblock ?

Hello,

Is there a \setup... command to configure the frontmatter section block? I haven't found a clear information about this.

You can put your setup in the 'before', like so:

\setupsectionblock [frontmatter] [before={\setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals]}]

It does nothing. In this example the TOC and Preamble section still have default numbering:

i can second this. \setupsectionblock [frontmatter] [before={\setuppagenumbering[location=]}] does nothing (visible at least) on the other hand this works fine: \startfrontmatter \setuppagenumbering[location=] \completecontent \stopfrontmatter is setupsectionblock broken? -f -- expert - anyone from out of town.

I'm sorry, this is my fault. It should have been:

\setupsectionblock [frontpart] % <- CHANGED [before={\setuppagenumbering[location=]}]

Yep, it works, thanks. Sounds strange to me to use frontmatter and setup frontpart, but it's ok. Regards, BG
