Page Labels

type labelstyle =
  1. | DecimalArabic
  2. | UppercaseRoman
  3. | LowercaseRoman
  4. | UppercaseLetters
  5. | LowercaseLetters
  6. | NoLabelPrefixOnly

The type for page labels. The page labels of a document, if well-formed, are a list of ts where the startpage values are in increasing numerical order. The numerical page number for the page range is startvalue. The default labelstyle is DecimalArabic. The default labelprefix is the empty string.

For example, a document might have five pages of introduction with roman numerals, followed by the rest of the pages in decimal arabic, numbered from one:

labelstyle = LowercaseRoman; labelprefix = ""; startpage = 1; startvalue = 1

labelstyle = DecimalArabic; labelprefix = ""; startpage = 6; startvalue = 1

For more details, see ISO 32000 12.4.2, but note that in our implementation, pages are 1-based not 0-based, just like PDF page numbers.

type t = {
  1. labelstyle : labelstyle;
  2. labelprefix : string option;
  3. startpage : int;
  4. startvalue : int;
