RE: [xep-support] page number and page-range

Hi Eliot,

Thanks for your help. In a way XEP extensions work if the Table of Contents
is part of the backmatter, not in the Front Matter. It is definitely a
"back-of-the-book" solution. I tested it by generating TOC at the front and
at the back. The front matter BTW I am using XEP 4.4.

One sad fact is RenderX mentioned that:

"In XEP 4.4, <rx:index-item> only search elements preceding them in the
document. No forward references are implemented. This limitation is likely
to persist in future versions of XEP."

I hate to think of doing post-PDF processing after I generated the TOC at
the back-of-the-book; extract and delete the TOC; insert the TOC after the
cover page!!!!!

You should be able to do this with the back-of-the-book index support,
either XEP's proprietary extensions, or if it's supported in the release
you're using, the similar XSL-FO 1.1 back-of-the-book index support.
While designed for doing indexes, it can be used for this application
and provides direct support for generating page ranges or single page
numbers as appropriate.

Cheers,

Eliot
