[NTG-context] No roman numerals in frontmatter header

[NTG-context] No roman numerals in frontmatter header

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 968 bytes --]

Perhaps someone can advise me where I am going wrong.

I have no trouble getting roman numeral page numbers in the footer text 
in frontmatter with

\startsectionblockenvironment [frontpart]

\setupuserpagenumber [numberconversion=romannumerals]

   \setcounter [userpage] [5]

\stopsectionblockenvironment

\startsectionblockenvironment [bodypart]

   \setcounter [userpage] [1]

\stopsectionblockenvironment

\setuppagenumbering

   [alternative=doublesided,location={footer,middle}]

But if I change to \setuppagenumbering[location= ], and choose, for example:

\setupheadertexts

        [ ]    [{\getmarking[chapter]\hskip1em \pagenumber}]

        [{\pagenumber \hskip1em \documentvariable{metadata:title}}]    [ ]

I get my header texts with page numbers in arabic numerals in 
frontmatter. I have tried various \setupheadertexts options, but I still 
get arabic numerals in frontmatter. The conversion does not work.

What am I missing or doing wrong?

Try \convertnumber{R}{\pagenumber}

Just use \userpagenumber.

[jbf]

Thank you very much for this. After you mentioned \userpagenumber I was 
able to discover its (single) mention in 
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Headers_and_Footers. But perhaps in any 
reorganisation of the wiki, this could be more clearly indicated as 
applying more specifically to the need to get roman numerals in 
\setupheadertexts situations, as my own case demonstrates.

Grateful as always,

Julian

Right, another detail missing in my book and apparently in the wiki.

I already marked sooo many emails to process the interesting code in 
them, at least this is easy.

Thanks for this... though the later indication from Wolfgang is clearly 
the easiest.
