[xep-support] Flow back to previous page

[Jost Klopfstein]

Thanks Alexei and David.

This approach is promising, however, I am not sure if the page numbering
will be correct and the TOC / Index will point to the correct pages after
assembling the pages from half A5 sub-pages.
Is it the output generator which inserts the page numbers? Or do I have to
parse in the intermediate format every page and insert new page numbers and
change all the page number references?

Intermediate format
p1
p2
p3
p4
will be assembled into
(p1 + p3)
(p2 + p4)

Cheers, Jost
