So in looking around I came across your comment in this old thread:
http://www.mobileread.mobi/forums/sh...d.php?t=232830

And I wonder if at this point in time the Calibre conversion process honors the Epub3 pagebreak feature and if this wouldn't be a direct and non-programmatic way to accomplish what I want to do in numbering a few pages with Roman numerals (maybe together with page-list, etc. This would avoid my having to write Javascript and would be Epub3 compliant.

I confess that I haven't experimented with this yet, and I'm not clear on how this would bottom out in the display of page numbers, but it kind of looks promising, if somewhat mysterious at the moment.

Any comment on this? Any experience using pagebreak/pagelist? Do you know of any examples of this?

Thanks.
