I guess I'm assuming a page editor is not going to be specifying a given "chunk-page" -- they will just indicate somehow within their pagelist that they want it to be "chunked" and from there on they will click on a link...

That makes sense to me to have it as a PV. I think I'd still lobby for something related to the already-available $MatchCount or else change $MatchCount from FmtV to FmtPV (Or add $FmtPV['$ThisMatchCount'] or the like) -- just for consistency's sake. -Peter
