My footer contains
#counter(page).display("Page 1/1", both: true)
which produces
Page 3
instead of
Page 3/10
Is this a bug?
How do I get it to display Page 3/10?
#counter(page).display("Pg 1/1", both: true)
produces
Pg 3/10
but I want Page instead of Pg.
Notice how the spelling of the word Page changes on each page:
Page 10
Pbge 10
Pcge 10
etc...
The character a is interpreted by the counter as the symbol to increment, so it changes from a to b to c, etc…
To get your desired effect the “Page” should be placed outside of the display() function. This way there is no confusion about the display format that you want.
#set page(footer: context [Page #counter(page).display("1/1", both: true)])
#for _ in range(10) [
#lorem(5)
#pagebreak(weak: true)
]
The documentation has a list of symbols that are recognised as numbering symbols which are automatically counted up.
