two additional pagenumber series

two additional pagenumber series

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

for one of the documents I share with others, I need to add five
pagenumber series.

I’m already using realpage, userpage and subpage. I have just tried to
use \definecounter, but it doesn’t work.

    \setuppapersize[A9]
    \definecounter[ncounter]
        [way=bychapter]
    \starttext
    \rawcountervalue[ncounter]\page
    \incrementcounter[ncounter][1]
    \page
    \lastcountervalue[ncounter]
    \chapter{}
    \lastcountervalue[ncounter]
    \stoptext

I don’t know how to link any page increment to the defined counter.
Although method is page, this seems to be related to a different issue.

My question is: how could I get new pagenumber series using \definecounter?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

While I think there are better solutions to your problem (e.g. adding 
the section number as prefix) you can increment a counter with each page.

The hard part is to find a hook for this because AFAIK there is no 
simple key to do this (e.g. \setuppaper[setups=...]). What you have to 
do in this case is to append the counter settings to a token register 
which is called when ConTeXt has finished a page.

\definecounter [section:chapter] [way=bychapter]
\definecounter [section:section] [way=bysection]

\appendtoks
   \incrementcounter[section:chapter]%
   \incrementcounter[section:section]%
\to \everybeforepagebody

\startsetups[header:pagenumber]
   \starttabulate[|l|rw(1em)|]
   \NC Pagenumber \EQ \pagenumber                       \NC\NR
   \NC Chapter    \EQ \rawcountervalue[section:chapter] \NC\NR
   \NC Section    \EQ \rawcountervalue[section:section] \NC\NR
   \stoptabulate
\stopsetups

\setupheadertexts[\directsetup{header:pagenumber}]

\starttext

%\dorecurse{10}{\samplefile{lorem}}

\dorecurse{5}
   {\chapter{Chapter \convertnumber{word}{#1}}
    \dorecurse{5}
      {\section{Section \convertnumber{word}{##1}}
       \dorecurse{\numexpr#1+##1\relax}{\samplefile{lorem}}}}

\stoptext

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.

The text structure is more complex. The document uses sections as
second-level chapters. I mean, they have a page break before.

It is a huge book, divided in parts, which contains units. Each unit
contains the standard explanation, different explanation approaches, and
other additional information in some units.

Each unit is a chapter. The explanation, the exercise sets and the
additional material are a section each. And both chapters and sections
need to be numbered as page/lastpage (for each).

It is clear to me now what makes it works.

Now I have to adapt this to the huge document.

Many thanks for your help again,

Pablo

\setuppapersize[A8]

\setupheadertexts[]
\setupcounter[subpage][way=bychapter]

\starttext
