Adapting pagenumbers
« on: September 08, 2010, 01:26:04 pm »
Hi,

Currently I have created a MZ3-book based on a discontinuous set of pages. The original book has been fragmented and parts of it are missing. This fact also causes a discontinous page numbering. E.g. its starts with page 21 to 30 then skips to a page number set 45 - 66 and ends with 74 - 81. Of course it would be nice if the corresponding numbers could be shown in the navigationbar. I know there is something lik a 'page offset' and that will help for the first set of pages. A problem rises however when the first 'gap' comes by.
Is there a way to define a set of page numbers that corresponds to the numbering in the incomplete book? Besides this I'd like to be able to present a customized page numering. The book I'm talking about uses for example the following system: "f. 21v" and "f. 33r" for page 'foilium 21 verso' and 'folium 33 recto' respectively.
Can this be done?

With kind regards,

Richard

If you generate the XML dynamically, you might try solving this using the page@navbarnumber attribute.
Doing this by hand for each page would probably way too much work...

Feel free to add a feature request to the tracker for chapter based pageoffsets, which would probably solve your issue, too.
For the Snark was a Boojum, you see.
