l
Sheet number: The current sheet number in the document. A sheet is a physical piece of
paper, with two sides (or pages). This is equivalent to half the page number, for example if
there are 10 pages, there will be 5 sheets.
l
Sheet count: This marker is replaced by the total number of sheets in the document,
whether or not they have contents.
Note
When a marker is inserted, a class is added to the element in which the marker is inserted. Do not
delete that class. It enables the software to quickly find and replace the marker when generating
output. The respective classes are: pagenumber, pagecount, contentpagenumber,
contentpagecount, sheetnumber, and sheetcount.
Creating a table of contents
A table of contents can only be created in a template script. The script should make use of the
pageRef() function. For an example, see "Creating a table of contents" on page832. If you don't
know how to write a script, see "Writing your own scripts" on page552.
Configuring page numbers
By default the page numbers are Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.) without leading zeros nor prefix,
and page numbering starts with page 1 for each section. But this can be changed. To do that:
1.
On the Resources pane, right-click a section in the Print context and click Numbering.
2.
Uncheck Restart Numbering if you want the page numbers to get consecutive page
numbers, instead of restarting the page numbering with this section.
Note
Even if a section is disabled, so it doesn't produce any output, this setting is still
taken into account for the other sections. This means that if Restart Numbering is
checked on a disabled section, the page numbering will be restarted on the next
section.
Disabling a section can only be done in a Control Script (see "Control Scripts" on
page570). Control Scripts can also change where page numbers restart.
