l
Content page number: The current page number in the document, counting only pages
with contents that are supplied by the Print section. A page that has a Master Page (as set
in the Sheet Configuration dialog, see "Applying a Master Page to a page in a Print
section" on page90) but no contents, is not included in the Content page count.
l
Content page count: This is the total number of pages in the current document that have
contents, supplied by the Print section. A page that has a Master Page but no contents, is
not included in the Content page count.
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508. If you don't
know how to write a script, see "Writing your own scripts" on page240.
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.
