Description

Hey,

Read some suggestions on using:

<footer><div class="pagenum-container">Page <span class="pagenum"></span></div></footer>

footer .pagenum:before {
        content: counter(page);
}

To get the current page number. Is it possible to get the total number of pages through css as well, to show something like Page 4 of 5?

Research direction

The issue provides footer markup and a CSS counter(page) example but names no repository files or tests. Start by reproducing the example and tracing how pagination and CSS counters are handled. Done means establishing whether a total-page value can reliably produce output such as “Page 4 of 5,” with the behavior documented or supported.
