Hi all
While I am still busy to finalize the texts concerning the book I was
playing around with the setup of the frontmatter.
The book is in Context organized in the form of a project. I want to typeset
the preface without headertext and pagenumbering. Herafter the contents is
typeset followed by the list figures. The next two small pieces are two very
small chapters outside the scope of the book and these will therefore be
typset with headertext as the rest of the book but with roman
pagenumbering. - Then the book starts.....
Most of the things work out well. But I have the problem, that on the third
page of the preface Context switches the headertext on and places a roman
page number, wich of course is not required. - Strange is, that the
information to start pagenumbering with roman pagenumbers is actually loaded
after the end of the preface. - I am puzzled.
Is there somebody out there who knows the mistake I make? For information I
add a composed file, which contains the main setup information I use. Thanks
for your assistance Willi

there is a special way to handle block specific environments [you can even
define more section block if needed]
\startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,state=stop]
\stopsectionblockenvironment
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
frontmatter
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
bodytext
\stopbodymatter
\stoptext
this mechanism is aware of grouping
the problem [general] with going to pages in combination with changes in
environments, is that one needs to force the next page before the env change:
\setupheadertext[one]
bla bla
\setupheadertext[two] \page
morebla
is different from
\page \setupheadertexts[two]
You can influence pages with the paremeters page (or before/after) in
setupsectionblock.
