Good that you were testing that. I never really messed with much beyond your usual Roman Numerals + basic numbers.
I did not test anything similar to "13b", and I think my statement was reasonably clear.

Still would recommend against that because it would interfere with blind readers who want to skip to next pages.
Sorry for any confusion. Not sure how I could have worded it to be more clear.

But isn't skip 1.0 page arbitrary? Is there presently a way to skip 1 paper page while reading a reflowable ebook on a device showing less than 1 page per screen? Would skipping half a page be that bad?
