Pagenumbering with \setupcounter[userpagenumber]

Pagenumbering with \setupcounter[userpagenumber]

[Willi Egger]

Good evening!

I am trying to make use of the userpagenumber counter. I have a book at hand, where I need to adjust the start of the pagenumbering.

It appears to me, that the \setupcounter[userpagenumber[state=stop] and later the \setupcounter[userpagenumber][state=start,start=7] is not giving the expected result.

MWE:

% Context file

\mainlanguage[en]

\usetypescript[termes]
\setupbodyfont[termes,9pt]

\setuppapersize [A5][A5]


\setuppagenumbering[location=,alternative=doublesided]

\setupheadertexts
	[text]
	[]
	[\userpagenumber]
	[\userpagenumber]
	[{\getmarking[chapter]}]

\setupfootertexts
	[]
	[\pagenumber]
	[\pagenumber]
	[]
	
\setupmakeup[standard][top=,bottom=,doublesided=yes]

\setupcounter[userpagenumber][state=stop]
	
\starttext

\startstandardmakeup[page=yes,doublesided=yes]
\strut
\godown[.2\textheight]
\rightaligned{Bramble-Bees}
\stopstandardmakeup

\startstandardmakeup[doublesided=yes,page=yes]
\strut
\godown[.1\textheight]
\startalignment[middle]
	{\bfb BRAMBLE-BEES AND OTHER} 
	\blank[line]
	{\bfa by J. HENRI FABRE}
	\stopalignment
	\vfill
	\startalignment[middle]
	{TRANSLATED BY ALEXANDER TEIXEIRA DE MATTOS, F.Z.S.}
\stopalignment
\stopstandardmakeup


\starttitle[title={TRANSLATOR'S NOTE.}]
	\input ward
\stoptitle


\setupcounter[userpagenumber][state=start,number=7]

\starttitle[title=Contents]
	\placelist[chapter]
\stoptitle

\startchapter[title=Ward]
	\input ward
\stopchapter

\startchapter[title=Knuth]
	\input knuth
\stopchapter

\stoptext


Is this a bug or do I miss something?

Kind regards

Willi

The second one.

The name of the counter isn't "userpagenumber" and you don't even have 
to know the name of the counter because \setupuserpagenumber has the 
same options (and passes the values to \setupcounter).

\setupfootertexts[\userpagenumber]

\starttext

\setupuserpagenumber[state=stop]

\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth }

\page \setupuserpagenumber[state=start,number=7]

\dorecurse{10}{\input zapf }

\stoptext
