If there's an easy answer to this, I must not have found it :) In the example below, I've created a markup command which converts page numbers into Roman numerals, and added it to the default definitions of oddHeaderMarkup and evenHeaderMarkup. The command takes an integer: above that value, page numbers will revert to Arabic numerals. I've made the Roman numerals lowercase. > In a related question, will > the output from a generated Table of Contents display a mix of Roman > and Arabic page numbers? This won't affect the table of contents, and unfortunately, I don't have time right now to work on a solution :( HTH, David %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \version "2.15.42" %%% roman numeral page numbers #(define-markup-command (roman-numeral-page-number layout props arg) (integer?)
