Following up on this specific point, and linking to groff as well, you do this in {g|t}roff with .tl 'man(1)'Manual pager utils'man(1)' (".tl" is a "title line" tag; ".tl 'X'Y'Z'" sets X left-aligned (see, I learned!), "Y" centred, and "Z" right-aligned. As its name suggests, its main usage is for running headers, but you can use it anywhere on the page. "X", "Y" or "Z" could be empty. e.g. .tl ''Header'page_number' (This is as easy as any way of doing it in WP).
