Tables of Contents - Page 2

carogray · 10-23-2013, 02:37 PM

nope not have the same page numbers - just be able to find the same thing by page number.
So I am on page 7 of the printed guide.
If I were in an ebook and I had an html TOC that said something like Table of Contents for Printed Version you could go find Question 36... and then .... oh I finally get it - ok thanks I now see why it's pointless we ought just to have chapters and sections and question numbers etc and forget page numbers entirely - sorry took me a while to think through the whole thing all together.

I'm glad you see the light

Different electronic editions can't be matched up for exactly the same reasons as you can't match up different paper editions by page numbers.
