From a quick research it seems that this functionality is in PDF since Acrobat 4 (that should be PDF 1.3, right?) and is most likely called "Custom Page Numbering". It would be amazing if ConTeXt/LuaTeX supports that too - especially if you produce documents for screen reading. Unfortunately I don't have access to the PDF Specification currently to give you more info - so I don't even know for sure how that feature is officially called. Anyway, I hope that idea/suggestion/wish finds positive reactions ... and I somehow hope that it isn't actually too hard to implement :-) Best Regards, Andreas. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
