[NTG-context] Re: No roman numerals in frontmatter header

[jbf <roma83537@gmail.com>]

Thank you very much for this. After you mentioned \userpagenumber I was 
able to discover its (single) mention in 
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Headers_and_Footers. But perhaps in any 
reorganisation of the wiki, this could be more clearly indicated as 
applying more specifically to the need to get roman numerals in 
\setupheadertexts situations, as my own case demonstrates.

Grateful as always,

Julian
