Handling line numbers in frontmatter.

Handling line numbers in frontmatter.

[John Culleton]

In the sample shown below I get correct (roman)
line numbers but the very first page, imported
from plug.tex has an unwanted page number. If I
surround that page with:
\startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no,page=yes]
 and
\stopstandardmakeup

the page number disappears but the page count is
wrong by one. Page numbers are roman. 

I have tried changing the page number sequence
using e.g,:
\setcounter[userpage][-4]
but that has no effect.

I tried iv instead of 4 but that didn't work
either.

MKIV and Texlive 2014.

Hi John,

this isn’t wrong. Makeup pages aren’t numbered by default.

Add "pagestate=start" to the makeup you want to get its page numbered.

To avoid adding the same options to every single makeup, add in the
preamble:

   \setupmakeup[pagestate=start, doublesided=no, page=yes]

BTW, I don’t know whether this is is the best way to surpress page
numbers in texts. Because makeups don’t split texts in pages.

I hope it helps,


Pablo
