  • @moewe Thanks for your comment! I believe I know what happens with the page counter, how paragraphs and pages are broken, etc. (read the TeXbook 'till chapter 27). From reading the perpage manual, I expected that after two passes, theabspage would be up-to-date, but I'm not sure I really understand its textual definition from the perpage manual (it mentions page, what's that? A typo, I guess). So, maybe I just don't understand the purpose of theabspage, after all. That was the question. :)

    If I understand the documentation of perpage correctly then abspage is defined as AddAbsoluteCounterpage. And AddAbsoluteCounter<counter> just defines a counter abs<counter> that is stepped up each time <counter> is stepped up. Since it is not reset by resets to <counter> it holds the absolute/total counter value. For page that seems to imply that abspage has the exact same issues as page w.r.t. its value in the first paragraph on a new page. theabspage and page could differ if you started your document with Roman page numbers and only later switched to Arabic 1

    If you want to call this negative page numbers, then yes. It is not that unusual for people to want to reset their page numbers at certain points, so a robust and truly unique counter like abspage can be useful. This is especially useful for other objects where it is much more common to reset counters (like footnote counters per chapter or the like) particularly in the context of the perpage package, which resets all kinds of things per page.

You can get the absolute page number e.g. with the zref package:



documentclassarticle
usepackagelipsum
usepackagezref-user,zref-abspage

begindocument
lipsum[1-5]
lipsum[6][2]
Page~zlabelAzref[abspage]A, zlabelBzref[abspage]B, zlabelCzref[abspage]C, zlabelDzref[abspage]D, zlabelEzref[abspage]E.
enddocument
