Have any real examples of this? I must admit, I have never seen a professional book do this, although I have seen crappy OCRs that left the page numbers in the normal flow of the book (seeing this just makes me want to pull my hair out!). |
I don't remember in which book I saw page numbers formatted this way, but, IIRC, it was a major publisher who'd inserted slightly smaller grey page numbers enclosed in square brackets in the body text of a fiction ePub, which I found a bit annoying.
(I.e., the page numbers were definitely not OCR artifacts.) From a design point of view they sure looked ugly, but it still beats having no page number references at all.
