Early books (from the advent of printing through the 17th century) were
generally numbered by leaf instead of by page, meaning when you open the book
only the right-side page has a number. The numbering is usually expressed in
the same way as manuscript folios, i.e. page number and recto or verso (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recto_and_verso). At the moment, it seems like
there's no support for this style of numbering in the <pagelist/> function and
the numbering has to be entered by hand for each page, like this:
<pagelist 1="1" 2="1v" 3="2" 4="2v" 5="3" 6="3v" ... />
I would like "folio" (and "folioroman") styles be added so we can just mark
them like this:
<pagelist from=1 to=50 1to50="folio" />
I have a large number of book scans numbered this way, but I haven't uploaded
them yet because there's not an easy way to index them. The few examples I've
found in English Wikisource already just discard the page numbers completely
and just apply standard pagination.
