Description

Example

One possible use of section blocks is to have different numbering systems for page numbers for different parts of a document. This example is slightly edited from Marco's answer to this TeX StackExchange question: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/108676/page-numbers-roman-number-and-arabic-numerals-in-context .

\usemodule[ipsum] % just used to easily fill several pages with content

% Define a section block with lowercase roman numeral page numbers
\definesectionblock[roman][romanpages]
\definestructureconversionset [roman:pagenumber] [] [romannumerals]

% Reset the page counter for the main text
\startsectionblockenvironment [bodypart]
  \resetuserpagenumber
\stopsectionblockenvironment

\starttext
  \startstandardmakeup
    \placecontent  % table of content to show how the page numbers are rendered
  \stopstandardmakeup
  \startromanpages
    \section{Roman numeral pages}
    \dorecurse{6}{\ipsum\par}
  \stopromanpages
  \startbodymatter
    \section{Arabic numeral pages}
    \dorecurse{6}{\ipsum\par}
  \stopbodymatter
\stoptext
