ConTeXt uses three different counters for the pages of the document:
1. The realpage counter is used for internal references to pages, this counter
should never be reset because it is needed to have unique numbers for each page.
2. The userpage counter which is shown in the header, TOC etc. and you can reset
its value at the begin of a new sectionblock etc.
3. The subpage counter can be used when you want to divide a certain sectionblock
into even small parts to have local page numbers for a certain part of your document.
Each of these three counters have a command for the setup:
- \setuprealpagenumber
- \setupuserpagenumber
- \setupsubpagenumber
The old \setuppagenumber command is a synonym for the \setupuserpagenumber
command because this is the counter you have to change for your documents.
