In its basic form only every other page has a number and it +has two parts: the quire number and the folio number inside the quire. +A quire or a gathering is a collection of sheets that are bound into +the book as one unit. For example, if a book has four-sheet quires, +then each quire will have 16 modern pages and the folio 'B 1' +corresponds to the modern page 17 and 'B 2' to page 19. + +The foliono package has direct support for several different folio +numbering conventions that were used in books before the 19th century. +The package works best in conjunction with fancyhdr and fontspec, but +it can be used without them. + + +This package is distributed under the Latex Project Public License +(LPPL). + +-- +Tommi Syrjänen +<tssyrjan@iki.fi> + |
