+<h3>Page numbering by chapter</h3>
+<p>When I was a young man, a common arrangement for loose bound technical
+manuals is to number pages by chapter. (It's quite a good scheme, in
+those situations: even if your corrections add a whole page to the
+chapter, the most you have to redistribute is that chapter.)
+<p>The problem, at first sight, seems pretty much the same as that in
+another answer on
+
+<a href="FAQ-running-nos.html">running numbers within a chapter</a>,
+and the basic technique is indeed pretty similar.
+<p>However, tidying-up loose ends, making sure the page number gets reset
+to the correct value at the start of each chapter, and so on, is
+slightly more challenging. This is why the <i>chappg</i> package
+was written: it does the obvious things, and more.
+<p>Users have been known to ask for running page numbers within a
+section, but this really doesn't make sense: you need to run page
+numbers within document objects that always start on a fresh page.
+<p>Documentation of <i>chappg</i> is to be found in the package file.
