Yes, that's the sort of stuff I had in mind: ReSpec can autogenerate links to figures, tables, sections — that sort of stuff. It's less complex than page numbers since it doesn't touch rendering but it's the same core problem. Whether it would be long and painful completely depends on how much cross-referencing you're doing, whether you need to render (or get close enough to rendering that you can paginate), what your platform is, etc. Doing page numbering on the multipage version of HTML5 on, say, a Kindle 3 is going to be pretty long and painful, yes. And then again, if I understand the case that Dave has in mind you'd have to do that for every font-size and device orientation too since it's not a mapping to print page numbers either :) -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
