How to change page numbering

I would like to make my Table of contents look like this



Is there any solution to have different style of page numbering within the same document.

I tried quickly and the following seems to almost work.

<assign|page-the-page|<macro|<value|page-nr>>>

and

<assign|page-the-page|<macro|<number|<value|page-nr>|roman>>>

for switching between representations of numbers

<assign|page-nr|1>

to restart numbering

Pages after <assign|page-nr|1> get numbered starting from 1, but not in the table of contents. It may be necessary to change another environment variable, I do not yet know which one. Maybe someone knows. I will be able to investigate more in the next days.

I think that the redefinitions of the page numbering format can be inserted, for example, in a chapter-like environment that adds the redefinitions to the standard chapter macro.

How to insert

<assign|page-the-page|<macro|<number|<value|page-nr>|roman>>>

in TeXmacs.
Should it be from insert>>paste from>> TeXmacs? in the text file or in the preambule?

Yes

Pls. try in the text, at the point in which you would like the number format to change. I think it might be good to insert this in the definition of chapter, but I have to postpone working on that.

I am glad that it works but I did not understand what it is that works.

Now I am getting


I don’t know why it start with VIIinstead of ```I````
Also I would like to start table of content with 1 and not with 5

I need some time—at least a few days—to try and figure out how to modify the table of contents, sorry. Perhaps in the meantime someone else will be able to help you.
