I clearly wrote that I find the new structure code to be a bit confusing, and invited "experts" to answer your specific questions (also commented in my framework "example"): > % missing setups to: > % 1. frontmatter pagenumbering conversion=romannumerals > % 2. bodymatter pagenumbering "chapter-page" > % 3. reset pagenumber for each chapter > % 4. add blank pages if necessary to start chapters on odd pages. It should be simple, but I have not taken the time/not had the need to look into this. Perhaps someone can easily fill this in (that is if not put-off by the agressivity of the posting). > However, I > believe that my original statements, which boil down to "This thing may > be great, but it needs to be documented (or where is it documented?)", > have been strengthened. Look at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page the paragraph on Documentation, and, in particular, the revision of the user manual. I, too, feel the great need for the updated manual. For this reason, I am trying to join the effort to bring forward its revision (to be done in my "spare time"). Writing good, complete documentation is hard!
