Page numbering: conversion broken

Page numbering: conversion broken

[Christian]

Dear list,

this
\setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals,left={--~},right={~--}] % taken from contextref.pdf 
does nothing in ConTeXt  ver: 2011.09.12 22:49 MKIV, except adding the '–' left and right. The number is still Arabic.

However this
\convertnumber{r}{4}
works as expected.

Is this fixed in a later beta?

Best regards
Christian

There is nothing to fix, the while numbering mechanism has changed in MkIV and you have to write now

\setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=romannumerals]

or better (because you can set different conversion for the frontpart, main part etc)

\definestructureconversionset[pagenumber][][romannumerals]

\setupuserpagenumber[numberconversionset=pagenumber]

I see. I got this example from the Context reference manual dated June 1st, 2011 on page 87. I thought
it would be up to date and didn't see any hints for the mkii<->mkiv problem.

Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for (different numberconversions for  front- and bodypart).
My first guess was that the "frontpart" goes in the second set of brackets (the empty ones). But no, its in the first with
frontpart:pagenumber.
Very confusing sometimes :S

Thank you for your help!
