Re: so what is so important about pagination?

Won't ANY kind of header, footer, page indicator "disturb when doing a search"
only if the viewer-app is too stupid to know it should skip such things when searching... (unless you tell it specifically to include 'em). -bowerbird
And anything with line numbers won't have consumer appeal - it was obviously produced by geeks for geeks.
Hi Don, if I remember correctly the discussion of using editors and you can turn linenumber on and off. Also, if you have ever been in a literature class you would know that in poems and drama one uses linenumbers as references. So it is not that geeky. On another point. Could you please add in so quotes from the original post you are referring to. It is sometimes hard to follow to whom and what actually you are commenting on. Thanx regards Keith.

OK. It's only geeky if you put line numbers where they weren't in the original. How's that? On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 2:31 AM, Keith J. Schultz <schultzk@uni-trier.de>wrote:

Yeah, because only computer geeks are geeks. Old English geeks, well, they aren't the REAL geeks. -- Kie ekzistas vivo, ekzistas espero.

I have not seen a high school text books for english lately, but I am sure they have line numbers in them for longer poems. But, maybe all students are probably geeks. Just to be geeky. Shakespeare is not old english, not even middle english, actually "Modern English". Of course the the question is what language are we writing in?!!! Before I forget in the original folios there are NO line numbers. I wonder why we use them. Must be some geeky thing I do not understand. Maybe, you can enlighten me! ;-))
