Roman numerals in running heads in frontmatter.

Roman numerals in running heads in frontmatter.

[John Culleton]

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?

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
