Dear Julian,

I use something similar using a main product f= ile, an environment file that contain the styling and several components th= at build up the frontmatter, the manual and the appendices.

= ;

Below my setup where I start the roman numbering on the table of contents = page (page 5 or v in roman)

Once the bodymatter starts the pagenumber = is set=C2=A0 to the arabic 1 (see below in the main product file)

You should be able to copy and adapt to your needs.=

Ki= nd regards,

Jan Willem Flamma

Subject: [NTG-context] \setupuserpage= number not working as expected

Am seeking to have fr= ontmatter pages in roman numerals and from Chapter 1 onwards in arabic nume= rals. I have achieved something of the kind, but page 1 (arabic) is appeari= ng on the last page of the frontmatter and not the first page of Chapter 1.= I do not know why this is happening. My setup for page numbering is as fol= lows (something I found somewhere - wiki? elsewhere? Not sure. I didn't mak= e it up!):

\definestructureconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][roma= nnumerals]
\definestructureconversionset[bodypart:pagenumber] [][numbers= ]
\startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart]
\setupuserpagenumber[numbe= rconversion=3Dromannumerals]
\setuplist[chapter][pageconversionset=3Dpag= enumber]
\setuppagenumber[number=3D1]
\stopsectionblockenvironment
\startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart]
\setuppagenumber[number=3D1= ]
\stopsectionblockenvironment

The frontmatter is some 16 pages wo= rth (ends on a verso page but that verso carries the arabic number 1 instea= d of page xvi which it should be, since the final paragraph on that page en= ds with \stopfrontmatter. That means Chapter 1 (immediately after \startbod= ymatter) is now page 2 instead of page 1!

I tried a slightly simpler = version of the above which I found on Stackexchange:

\definestructureconversionset [frontpart:pagenumber] <= span style=3D'font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:#9F393D;bo= rder:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0cm'>[]<= span style=3D'font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;border:none wind= owtext 1.0pt;padding:0cm'> [romannumerals]

\startsec= tionblockenvironment [bodypart] <= /o:p>

=C2=A0=C2=A0\set=
counter [u=
serpage] [1]

\stopsectionblockenvironment

b= ut it gave me the same result. Any idea how I can get the correct result?
