Kfxgen restricts page labels to be either integers or roman numerals. Anything else in the source EPUB will be rejected. Even a single incorrect entry will cause the entire pagemap/pagelist to be rejected resulting in no page numbers being shown at all.

Via my propensity for typos, I have noticed that kindlegen will also reject the entire pagemap/pagelist if it notices an error. Because I had to repeat my entire process a few times prior to making the first post and there are still some manual steps when I start at the asciidoc conversion to EPUB, I can not guarantee that there are no errors in the pagelist in the EPUB or that there are no duplicate, missing, or out of order page number targets in the asciidoc. Those had happened in prior iterations and I think I did eventually weed them all out, but late in the process, I switched to a completely different and better method designating pages in asciidoc, was getting short of time, and was eager to make the initial post so that I didn't want to lose all the mental context I had built up.
Anyway, I am curious whether kfxgen will accept something like "3a" as the visible text label for a page despite the apparent rule violation.
