Thank you once more! This looks better. It’s a pity that such things are not »wikified«… ;)

But there is a new surprise: What is knute.tex, ward.tex and tufte.tex? Are there more of those texte? And how does one finde them?

Actually the issue was discussed some time ago and Wolfgang Schuster explained that. In fact after sending you the previous answer I realized that he explained also that the right way is to use \defineconversionset and then reset the userpagenumber when necessary: look at the following example:

%%%% begin example
\defineconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals]
\defineconversionset[bodypart:pagenumber] [][numbers]
\defineconversionset[backpart:pagenumber] [][characters]

\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\input knuth.tex
\stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter
\setupuserpagenumber[number=1]
\input ward.tex
\stopbodymatter

\startbackmatter
\setupuserpagenumber[number=1]
\input tufte.tex
\stopbackmatter
\stoptext
%%%% end example

It would be nice to wikify things each time one learns something…

Best regards: OK

Thank you! This works.

But tell me: How do you know this? The manual and the website don’t explain it this way…

Best regards

Hi,

In fact you should use
\setupuserpagenumber[number=1]
as in the following example:

%%%% begin example
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=Romannumerals]
\input knuth.tex
\stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter
\setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numbers]
\setupuserpagenumber[number=1]
\input ward.tex
\stopbodymatter
\stoptext
%%%% end example

Best regards: OK

I don’t unterstand \startfrontmatter, \starbodymatter etc.

I thought, the frontmatter has roman numerals, the bodymatter normal and so on. This is not automatically so. Now founf how to make this, bus the problem is: I can’t reset the page number. I believed, it shoul work like this:

\startfrontmatter
\setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=Romannumerals]
% some stuff
\stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter
\setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numbers]
\setnumber[page]{1}
%some stuff
\stopbodymatter
This doesn’t work, may be because \setnumber is not a command in ConTeXt?

Where is my error?
