Perhaps someone can advise me where I am going wrong. I have no trouble getting roman numeral page numbers in the footer text in frontmatter with \startsectionblockenvironment [frontpart] \setupuserpagenumber [numberconversion=romannumerals] \setcounter [userpage] [5] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment [bodypart] \setcounter [userpage] [1] \stopsectionblockenvironment \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location={footer,middle}] But if I change to \setuppagenumbering[location= ], and choose, for example: \setupheadertexts [ ] [{\getmarking[chapter]\hskip1em \pagenumber}] [{\pagenumber \hskip1em \documentvariable{metadata:title}}] [ ] I get my header texts with page numbers in arabic numerals in frontmatter. I have tried various \setupheadertexts options, but I still get arabic numerals in frontmatter. The conversion does not work. What am I missing or doing wrong? Julian

Try \convertnumber{R}{\pagenumber} Hraban

Just use \userpagenumber. Wolfgang
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.

Right, another detail missing in my book and apparently in the wiki. I already marked sooo many emails to process the interesting code in them, at least this is easy. Hraban
Thanks for this... though the later indication from Wolfgang is clearly the easiest. On 29/6/24 18:10, Henning Hraban Ramm wrote:
