bodymatter and alternative=doublesided, XML documentation

[Tobias Burnus]

Hi,

I have the following problem:
Using
  \setuppagenumbering[location={footer,right}]
  \startbodymatter
  \chapter{Hi}
  \stopbodymatter

I always get 3 pages, but I want to have two: The recto with "Hi" and its
verso, I don't want to have an extra recto!


Is there a nice way to setup
frontmatter to use roman numerals and bodymatter "arabic" numerals
starting from 1?

I know I can use \setupsectionblock[][before=\bgroup\setup...]
but is there something nicer?


A part of that document should be in XML, is there any documentation for
the ContML available by now? Or about the XML namespacing etc.
support, which is not mentioned in "XML in ConTeXT"?

Tobias

What's wrong with this :
\starttext

\setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals]

\startfrontmatter
  \completecontent
\stopfrontmatter

% \setuppagenumber[number=1] % Uncomment to restart numbering
  \setuppagenumbering[conversion=numbers]

\startbodymatter
  \chapter{First}
    \dorecurse{5}{\input tufte\par \input knuth\par}

  \chapter{Second}
    \dorecurse{5}{\input tufte\par \input knuth\par}
\stopbodymatter

\stoptext

Nothing in principle, but if I do a

  \processXMLfilegrouped{foo.xml}

which contains

  <frontmatter>
   ...
  </frontmatter>
  <bodymatter>
  </bodymatter>

this doesn't work. Moreover I'd like to keep the content as far as
possible separate from the layout.
