[xep-support] Page count module 4

[G. Ken Holman]

I requested this of the XSL-FO committee for version 1.1 and my 
request was rejected.

All I can suggest is adding four additional pages to the end of the 
document and then after print deleting the pages you don't want.  In 
tools it is easier to do that than to add pages.  For example, if you 
produce PDF from XEP and you have a PDF printer driver, then open up 
your PDF file in the reader and do a "print to PDF" of the desired 
page count, and the unwanted pages at the end don't show up in the result.

If anyone else can think of a different approach, I'd love to hear 
it.  This comes up in publications that are saddle-stitched where 
pages need to be grouped in 16 or 32 pages.  What I wanted from the 
committee was the ability to loop through a page subsequence ... 
because of the saddle-stitching the margins need to be minutely 
adjusted on each page.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . Ken
