[NTG-context] off topic: page numbering question

2009-03-14 Thread WolfgangZ

Hi,

my question is not directly related to context, so please excuse.

In my document I have even before the abstract the summary in 2 
languages. Then the TOC (table of contents), then list of symbols which 
is followed by the introduction.


But where do I start with page number 1?
 - at the very beginning?
 - at the TOC (earlier pages get then numbered I, II, III, ...
 - at the introduction?

A last question, is it common to add the two summaries in the TOC or to 
start with the list of symbols?


Or are there no rules at all and I can do it as I like?

Best regards
Wolfgang

It's probably frowned on by real writers, but I actually make the
front cover page 1. This is just so that when you go to print an
extract of the document (or go to a page number when viewing), the
page numbers match those in the software dialog.

Having said that it may well be that PDF viewers are clever enough to
know the logical page number rather than the physical one, does
anyone know about this?

Thanks!

Using the example, viewers which correctly display the logical page
numbers (i,ii,iii,iv,1,2,3 etc) are:

xpdf   no
kpdf   no
ocular no
foxit  no
evince yes!
acrobat 4  yes

Only acrobat seems to cope with ii in the print dialog, although I did
not try very hard on the others.
