<h3>Page numbering &ldquo;&lt;<i>n</i>&gt; of &lt;<i>m</i>&gt;&rdquo;</h3>

<p/>Finding the page number of the last page of a document, from within
the document, is somewhat tricky.  The <i>lastpage</i> package is
therefore supplied to make life easy for us all; it defines a label
<code>LastPage</code> whose number is <em>right</em> (after sufficiently many
passes through LaTeX, of course).  The <i>memoir</i> class also
defines a &ldquo;last page&rdquo; label.
<p/>The documentation of the <i>fancyhdr</i> package spells out exactly
how one might actually use this information to produce page numbering
as suggested in the question.
