back to core topic "pagination"

I think we are back to the starting point that this library should also accommodate page numbers either in the head or footer, correct me if wrong?

yeah. I/we need to figure out how to approach header and footer too. The basic idea would be to have the document tree like so

> doc
     > page
            > header
                 > para
            > body
                 > para ....
                 ...
            > footer
                > para
    ...

Then you can add page numbers or whatever. I don't think that in itself would be too difficult but it brings more challenges with handling the cursor/selection around page boundaries.

Am going to start with #36

Hey @gillangit , I've merged in what I've got so far for header/footer/body support. It's by no means complete and there are a couple of minor bugs, bug I've got a working editor with header/footer and body support, including working keybindings that jump from body to body between pages, etc. Just as you'd get in Word.

I don't really have great documentation yet but will try to eventually get a demo people can play around in and see a code example.

As for page numbers in the footer, this is still to do, but we are now much closer
