Pagelist plugin for print edition page numbers

[Leilu]

Thank you guys.

I’m creating an EPUB from a scan of a book by Günther Anders. I’m planning to send this EPUB as a sample to publishing houses since I’d really love to work in the industry, so I’m pulling out all the stops on the quality.

I think I’ll export the page numbers from ABBYY FineReader OCR as plain text instead. That way, I can use regex in Sigil to modify the <p>page_number</p> tags exactly how I want.

Good luck!

Your comment <p>Page number</p> had me a little concerned that you are trying to put a visual page number embedded in the book. Just be careful, that might be fine for textbooks or fixed format books, but they are meaningless in a reflowable ebook. Most people prefer the hidden tags that mean something to the reading software and can be linked instead of a "Page 67" floating at some random point on the screen.

The <p>Page number</p> tag is just a placeholder. What I’m actually looking for is a way to include the real pages information to be abble to toggle side-margin page references similar to how KOReader handles them.

I'll have to check how to implement this correctly. I came across an example in a book using

l’impossibilité de croître près de monseigneur <a id="page_71"></a>Bienvenu qu’à peine sorti.

If this book is not a non-fiction book, there's really no need to put in a print edition's page numbers. If I find an eBook with a page-map to simulate a print edition's page numbers that doesn't need it, I strip them out. They are (IMHO) just bloat.

I think it's pretty safe to say that a book by Günther Anders is not going to be something that interest you, Jon. So your preferences about this paticular topic are not all that relevant.

And let's please let this plugin's thread get back on track. Thanks.

In EPUB3 books, you'll need to identify page numbers via epub:type="pagebreak" attributes. For more information see:
EPUB Accessibility Techniques > Provide page break markers. You'll also need to generate a NAV pagelist.

FYI: my version of Gibran's Madman contains page numbers.
