# The `sillypage` package

This is a very simple package that provides John Cleese's iconic silly walk
routine as page numbering style.

## Usage

Simply add `\usepackage{sillypage}` to your document. Then:

- Write `\pagenumbering{silly}` in your document to use the page numbering
  style defined by this package.
- Use the macro `\silly` on a LaTeX counter to typeset the corresponding
  image for the value of that counter.
- Use the macro `\sillystep` to print the step number `n` from the
  sequence of steps.
- Write `\pagenumbering{sillynumeral}` in your document to use a silly
  numeral system.
- Use the macro `\sillynumeral` to get the silly numeral system
  representation from the provided `n` value.

## A sample document

Here we go:

```tex
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{sillypage}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{silly}
\Blinddocument
\end{document}
```

## Installation notes

Just note that `sillywalk-map.pdf` should go under the `tex/` subtree
(as it is required by `sillypage.sty`) instead of the `doc/` counterpart.

## Isn't this package too silly?

Yes.
