Side Note: Over the years, there's been TONS of discussion about this... and a similar idea comes up from "geniuses" who decide to leave the physical book's page numbers smack dab in the middle of text:
Code:
<p>This is a very long sentence that</p>
<p>199</p>
<p>is split between two pages.</p>

When it's visible I assume it's from a careless conversion from print or OCR. Never thought anyone would deliberately do that.
However, you can embed the physical page numbers as anchors, and then an index links to that.
e.g. the index has entries like this:
Code:
<li class="indexmain" id="idx1_34"><span epub:type="index-term">Apollo program,</span> <a epub:type="index-locator" href="../Text/ch50.xhtml#page_417">417</a></li>
that linked to text coded like:
Code:
“Every day felt a bit like a roller coaster, where we <span aria-label="page 417" epub:type="pagebreak" id="page_417" role="doc-pagebreak"></span>discovered a new problem
making an invisible anchor for the beginning of that page.
If DIY, can use simpler anchors like
Code:
<a id="page_417"></a>
The advantage is that the text of the index is the same as the print version.
