Pagination
PublishingThe numbering of a document's pages within a particular layout and section structure.
Example
Front matter uses i, ii, iii; the first chapter starts at 1.
Pagination assigns numbers to pages. A book may use different conventions for front matter and the main text, and a page can be counted without displaying a number.
Layout changes can invalidate references in contents and indexes. Reflowable ebooks do not have the same fixed page boundaries as a print edition, since device and reading settings affect the display.
In the workshop
Check page references after the final layout change.
Book mode
Type your front matter on the page of the book
Epigraph, dedication, copyright page with the ISBN, colophon: in book mode you write them where they belong, with the trim size, margins and page numbers of your PDF. The exported file keeps the same layout.

The writing studio novelists were missing
Outline, characters, places and objects, the links between them, mind map, scene board, export: everything lives in one place. Plus an AI that knows your story, whenever you want one.
