Pagination and numbering

This page used to describe page breaks and page numbering on its own. That material is now part of the generated reference pages:

  • Page numbering: formats (arabic, roman, letters, Chinese, Arabic-Indic, …), starting values, PDF page labels → Numbering and Numbering format spellings.
  • Breaks before headings and their parity (odd, even, always-odd, always-even), with blank pages → Break before.
  • Forced breaks in the text: :::pagebreak, with its parity attribute, blank-page ownership and the document-start exception.
  • Numbering resets in the text, for roman front matter followed by arabic chapters: :::numbering.
  • Books of several chapters: page numbers and parity carry from one chapter to the next → Books and chapters.
  • Running heads and folios: the {pageNumber} placeholder and the rest → Headers & footers.
