Hello again
So here is part of my Table of Contents CSS, I believe pretty common:
content: leader("" "") target-counter(attr(data-topicidbegin), page) "" - "" target-counter(attr(data-topicidend), page);
Each topic has a 'topicidbegin' and 'topicidend'
The problem is 'topicidbegin' has 'page-break-before: right', which means a blank page is sometimes inserted so it starts on an odd page number.
This results in an output similar to this:
Topic A: Page 1-9
Topic B: Page 11-20
I want Topic A to include the blank page; basically show 1-10.
I have a couple ideas but don't know if any are possible:
Can we increment custom counters on each page? I could just have a custom counter that I increment by 2 on each even page, since my topics should always end on an even page.
Can any math be done in the 'content' CSS property? I tried using 'calc()' there but I don't think that's valid there. If I can do math I could probably find a way to do this, or at least subtract one page from the beginning of the next topic.
Thanks for your help
