Pagination
open-in-new
<p> Pagination, also known as paging, is the process of dividing a document into discrete <a href="/facts/Page_(paper)/Dm28TSkI">pages</a>, either electronic pages or printed pages. </p><p>In reference to books produced without a computer, pagination can mean the consecutive <a href="/facts/Page_numbering/hEa9KDlQ">page numbering</a> to indicate the proper order of the pages, which was rarely found in documents pre-dating 1500, and only became common practice c. 1550, when it replaced foliation, which numbered only the front sides of folios. </p>
