My personal practice is to use curly braces for page numbers and square brackets for footnote numbers. I include page numbers in an etext only if the book has internal references of some kind, e.g. footnotes that refer to specific pages, an index, or a table of contents that's sufficiently detailed as to function as an index. I number only the first page of an index, since I've never seen one with references to elsewhere in itself. Two-column indexes are rendered as single-column.

Our march from this would have changed the whole current of events."
"Even so," returned Mrs. Headley; "but here is a packet, left with Serjeant Nixon, which he has just handed to me, and which may throw some light on the subject. I will first glance over it myself." ----------- "God bless you, Ronayne! Alas, you are not alone in, your trials--much of moment awaits us all. Good night!"
And, assuming her disguise, she speedily regained her home.
