Glad you seem to be sorting out Kindle Page numbers.
I use Calibre to convert Project Gutenberg HTML files into MOBI for my Kindle, as Calibre provides much more of the formatting than the PG MOBI files.

I have now become a Post-Processor on the Distributed Proofreeding site, who provide HTML files to PG.

the standard DP pagenumbers are formatted as follows:

In the header, the class

.pagenum { /* uncomment the next line for invisible page numbers */
/* visibility: hidden; */
position: absolute;
left: 92%;
font-size: smaller;
text-align: right;
} /* page numbers */

And then embedded within the body text:

<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xx" id="Page_xx">[xx]</a></span>
or
<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xxx" id="Page_xxx">[Pg xxx]</a></span>

Would it be possible using the above information for Calibre to produce Kindle files with page numbers from Project Gutenberg HTML files?

ps: Calibre only seems to produce .mobi and .opf files (who knows) when I use it. No .apnx file.

regards

Rory
