[Orgmode] Re: Page numbering in manual

[Alan E. Davis]

Updating this to, I hope, clarify my request.  I see that to convert to LaTeX is a chore, and don't know whether the file would be amenable to tweaks, like using the chappg LaTeX package.

Texinfo is a black box for me.  I am guessing that the best way to do this is to convert the Texinfo source into LaTeX. 

 The numbering scheme I am proposing would be at a highest section, or chapter, level: 

A-1; C-26 , etc.  

OR

1.1
4.5
etc.  

Then if one had the manual as hardcopy, in a binder, he could print out the chapter in question, and the TOC.  Maybe some manner of dictionary

The manual is fairly extensive.  If a chapter has changed even in a minor way, the numbering of subsequent chapters is also affected.  With chapter-by-chapter page numbering, once could keep the manual in a binder, and swap out chapters one by one, as needed.

Is there a way to do this with a simple latex tweak?  I can't remember this.
