<h3>Page numbering “<<i>n</i>> of <<i>m</i>>”</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 “last page” 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.
