Differe page number style configuration

[freewingwind23]

Hi,
how to set a different page number style (such as i, ii, ...) for the chapters with a "outputclass='before-toc" attribute and reset the page number for the following normal chapters.

Also, the cover should not be included for page counting.

Look forward to your reply. Thanks.

Hello,

You can change the page definition for before-toc topics using the following rule:

Code: Select all

*[class ~= "topic/topic"][outputclass ~= "before-toc"] {
  page: matter-page;
}

In this example I used the predefined matter-page which uses lower-roman numbering.

To reset the page number for the first following "normal" chapter you can follow this topic from our user guide. Use the sub-topic corresponding to your numbering context (shallow, deep or deep-chapter-scope-no-page-reset).

If you don't want to number the cover page you can reset the page counter on the first before-toc topic like follows:

Code: Select all

*[class ~= "topic/topic"][outputclass ~= "before-toc"]:first-of-type {
  counter-reset: page;
}

Regards,
Julien
