IMPORTANT NOTICE:
On the first page backslash pagenumbering should be called
(with the appropriate argument out of e.g.
 * roman    - Lowercase Roman numerals: i, ii, iii, iv,...
 * Roman    - Uppercase Roman numerals: I, II, III, IV,...
 * arabic   - Arabic numerals: 1, 2, 3, 4,...
 * alph     - Lowercase letters: a, b, c, d,...
 * Alph     - Uppercase letters: A, B, C, D,...
 * fnsymbol - Footnote symbols: *, † (ddagger), ‡ (dddagger),
                                 § (mathsection),...
 * silly    - from sillypage package
 * gobble   - gobbles the page numbers;
               maybe backslash thispagestyle{empty} is more useful?
). The command backslash pagenumbering is renewed, but no change
should be visible to the output text, because only labels are added.
backslash OrigPagenumbering can be used to get the original meaning
of backslash pagenumbering, but in that case this package does not
see the change in the page numbering scheme and will make mistakes.
The package takes options.

%  \noindent This \LaTeX{} package puts the labels \texttt{LastPage}
%  (|\AddToHook{enddocument/afterlastpage}|, formerly |\AtEndDocument|)
%  and \texttt{VeryLastPage} (also |\AddToHook{enddocument/afterlastpage}|,
%  but formerly |\AfterLastShipout|) into the \xfile{.aux} file,
%  allowing the user to refer to the last page of a document.
%  This might be particularly useful in places like headers or footers.
%  When more than one page numbering scheme is used,
%  these references do not give the total \textit{number} of pages.
%  For this case the label \texttt{LastPages} is introduced.
%  Additionally, at the last page of each page numbering
%  scheme a label \texttt{pagesLTS.<numbering scheme>} is
%  placed, where \texttt{<numbering scheme>} is e.\,g.
%  arabic, roman, Roman, alph, or Alph. For fnsymbol
%  please use |\lastpageref{pagesLTS.fnsymbol}|
%  instead of |\pageref{pagesLTS.fnsymbol}|.
%  When the same numbering scheme is used twice,
%  the page numbers are either reset to one or continued
%  automatically, depending on the option given when the package
%  is called. The command |\theCurrentPage|
%  prints the current total/absolute page number -- in contrast to
%  |\thepage|, which gives only the page
%  \textit{name} in the current page numbering scheme.
%  |\theCurrentPageLocal| gives the current
%  number of pages in the current page numbering scheme.
%  |\thepage| and |\theCurrentPageLocal| are different e.\,g.
%  when |\addtocounter{page}{|\ldots|}| or
%  |\setcounter{page}{|\ldots|}| were used.
%  At the first page of the document a label \texttt{pagesLTS.0} is
%  created. This label can be referred to, too.
%  Further labels are provided for special cases.\par
%
%  The \xpackage{alphalph} package is supported,
%  i.\,e.~page numbers alph or Alph $>26$ and fnsymbol $>9$
%  can be used (with according options set). Even zero
%  and negative page numbers can be used with \texttt{arabic},
%  \texttt{alph}, \texttt{Alph}, \texttt{roman}, \texttt{Roman},
%  and \texttt{fnsymbol} page numbering (with \xpackage{alphalph} package
%  and according options).\par
%
%  |\pageref*| and |\lastpageref*|, for using \xpackage{hyperref}
%  but suppressing links, are supported. -- The name of the \xpackage{pageslts} package
%  refers to \textbf{L}ast, \textbf{T}otal, and page numbering \textbf{S}chemes pages.
%  \xpackage{pagesLTS} was a former name of this package.

% \section{Introduction}
% This package puts the labels \texttt{LastPage} (|\AddToHook{enddocument/afterlastpage}|,
% formerly |\AtEndDocument|; same as the \xpackage{LastPage} package) and \texttt{VeryLastPage}
% (also |\AddToHook{enddocument/afterlastpage}|, but formerly |\AfterLastShipout|) into the \xfile{.aux} file,
% allowing the user to refer to the last page of a document via |\lastpageref{LastPage}| and
% |\lastpageref{VeryLastPage}|. This might be particularly useful in places like headers or footers.
% When more than one page numbering scheme is used, these references do not give the total \textit{number}
% of pages. For this case the label \texttt{LastPages} is introduced (similar to the label \texttt{TotPages}
% of the \xpackage{TotPages} package, but the label \texttt{LastPages} is set later in the document).
% Additionally, at the last page of each page numbering scheme a label
% \texttt{pagesLTS.<}\textit{numbering scheme}\texttt{>} is placed,
% where \texttt{<}\textit{numbering scheme}\texttt{>} is e.\,g.
% arabic, roman, Roman, alph, or Alph. For fnsymbol please use
% |\lastpageref{pagesLTS.fnsymbol}| instead of |\pageref{pagesLTS.fnsymbol}|.
% When the same numbering scheme is used twice, the page numbers are either reset to one
% or continued automatically, depending on the option given when the package is called.
% The command |\theCurrentPage| prints the current total/absolute page number -- in contrast to |\thepage|,
% which gives only the page \textit{name} in the current page numbering scheme. |\theCurrentPageLocal|
% gives the current number of pages in the current page numbering scheme. |\thepage| and |\theCurrentPageLocal|
% are different e.\,g.~when |\addtocounter{page}{|\ldots|}| or |\setcounter{page}{|\ldots|}| were used.
% (See also \LaTeX\ bug~3421: 3rd~page is even (twoside, titlepage, abstract),
% \url{https://www.latex-project.org/cgi-bin/ltxbugs2html?category=LaTeX&responsible=anyone&state=anything&keyword=pagenumber&pr=latex%2F3421&search=}.)
% At the first page of the document a label \texttt{pagesLTS.0} is created. Also to this label it can be referred.
% Further labels are provided for special cases.\bigskip
%
% The \xpackage{alphalph} package is supported, i.\,e.~page numbers \texttt{alph} or \texttt{Alph} $>26$

% numbers can be used with \texttt{arabic}, \texttt{alph}, \texttt{Alph}, and \texttt{fnsymbol}
% page numbering (with \xpackage{alphalph} package and according options), and zero \texttt{roman}

% \DescribeMacro{logical page numbers}\label{logical page numbers}
% \textbf{Tip}: For the display of the \xfile{pdf}~file use \textbf{logical page numbers}
% together with \xpackage{hyperref}!
% \begin{description}
% \item [-] In Adobe Reader Continuos Release 2024.004.20272 enable:\newline
% Edit $>$ Preferences $>$ Categories: Page Display $>$
% Page Content and Information: Use logical page numbers
%
% \item[-] Use the \xpackage{hyperref} package with option |plainpages=false|\,.
% \end{description}
% The display will be e.\,g.\ \mbox{\textquotedblleft 7 (7 of 9)\textquotedblright ,}
% or, in case of Roman instead of arabic numbers,
% \mbox{\textquotedblleft VII (7 of 9)\textquotedblright ,} and when different
% page numbers are used (see below) e.\,g.~arabic after 10~Roman pages:
% \mbox{\textquotedblleft 17 (27 of 30)\textquotedblright .}
% Please try this with the compiled \xpackage{pageslts-example} file!
%
% \section{Usage}
% Just load the package by placing
% \begin{quote}
%   |\usepackage[<|\textit{options}|>]{pageslts}|
% \end{quote}
% in the preamble of your \LaTeX\ source file and place a |\pagenumbering{...}| with appropriate argument
% (e.\,g.~arabic, roman, Roman, fnsymbol, alph, or Alph)
% right behind |\begin{document}| (see subsubsection~\ref{sss:nopnc})!\bigskip
%
% For example for various draft forms it is desirable to have a page reference to the last page,
% so that e.\,g.\ page footers can contain something like
%\textquotedblleft page \mbox{$N$ of $K$\textquotedblright ,} where $N$~is the current page and
% $K$~is the last page. Once the package is loaded, anywhere in the text references can be made
% to the labels \texttt{LastPage}, \texttt{VeryLastPage}, and \texttt{LastPages}
% (most times with |\pageref{...}|, but more save with |\lastpageref{...}|).
% In particular one can use the \xpackage{fancyhdr} (\url{https://ctan.org/pkg/fancyhdr}) or
% \xpackage{nccfancyhdr} (\url{https://ctan.org/pkg/nccfancyhdr}) package, or
% redefinitions of the page headings and footings to get a reference to the last page.\bigskip
%
% \DescribeMacro{\pageref*}
% \DescribeMacro{\lastpageref*}
% If the \xpackage{hyperref} package is used, the references are hyperlinked to their targets.
% If these hyperlinks shall be suppressed, |\pageref*{...}| and |\lastpageref*{...}| can be used.
%
% \subsection{Options}
% \DescribeMacro{options}
% The \xpackage{pageslts} package takes the following options:
%
% \subsubsection{pagecontinue\label{sss:pagecontinue}}
% \DescribeMacro{pagecontinue}
% When option \texttt{pagecontinue=false} is \textbf{not} given (i.\,e.~\texttt{pagecontinue}
% or \texttt{pagecontinue=true} or no \texttt{pagecontinue} option at all), at each
% |\pagenumbering{...}| command the number of the page will be continued
% with the page number following the last page of the same page numbering scheme. For example,
% if there are V~Roman pages in the frontmatter, some arabic ones in the mainmatter, and then
% Roman ones again in the backmatter, the last ones will start with VI instead of~I again.\bigskip
%
% If you want to start with I (or i, 1, a, A, *,\ldots ) again, set option
% \texttt{pagecontinue=false}. If you want to generally continue the numbers,
% but for some page numbering scheme do not want this, use \texttt{pagecontinue=true}
% and say |\setcounter{page}{1}| after |\pagenumbering{...}| for that page numbering scheme.
%
% \subsubsection{alphMult, AlphMulti, fnsymbolmult\label{sss:alphalph}}
% The page number printed in
% \nolinebreak{\texttt{fnsymbol}\footnote{%
% \ensuremath {*},%
% \ensuremath {\dagger },%
% \ensuremath {\ddagger },%
% \ensuremath {\mathsection },%
% \ensuremath {\mathparagraph },%
% \ensuremath {\delimiter "026B30D },%
% \ensuremath {**},%
% \ensuremath {\dagger \dagger },%
% \ensuremath {\ddagger \ddagger }}}
% must be $>0$ and $<10$ and those printed in
% \nolinebreak{\texttt{alph}\footnote{a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h,%
% i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z}} and
% \nolinebreak{\texttt{Alph}\footnote{A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H,%
% I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z}} must
% be $>0$ and $<27$. After page~Z\quad \LaTeX\ \textit{should} continue with
% AA, AB, AC,\ldots\ Some people prefer AA, BB, CC,\ldots, but in hexadecimal it is
% $AA_{16}=170_{10}$ and $171_{10}=AB_{16}$, whereas $BB_{16}=187_{10}$. In any way
% it should continue at all (maybe even with a user option to choose between the two
% continuations), but instead only gives an error:\pagebreak
% \begin{verbatim}
% LaTeX Error: Counter too large
% See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
% You've lost some text.  Try typing  <return>  to proceed.
% If that doesn't work, type  X <return>  to quit.
% \end{verbatim}
% But thanks to the \xpackage{alphalph} package these limitation no longer hold.
% With his |\erroralph| command now even negative or zero page
% \textquotedblleft numbers\textquotedblright\ are possible.\newline
% Nevertheless, some \TeX\ capacity will be exceeded well before the
% $2\,147\,483\,647^{\textnormal{th}}$ page.\bigskip
%
% \DescribeMacro{alphMult}
% The string option \texttt{alphMult} takes three values: |ab|, |bb|, |0|:
% \begin{description}
% \item[ab] After page z, the page \textquotedblleft numbers\textquotedblright\ continue with
%  aa, ab, ac, ad,\ldots, and before a with 0, -a, -b,\ldots, -z, -aa, \mbox{-ab,\ldots .}
% \item[bb] After page z, the page \textquotedblleft numbers\textquotedblright\ continue with
%  aa, bb, cc, dd,\ldots, and before a with 0, -a, -b,\ldots, -z, -aa, \mbox{-bb,\ldots .}
% \item[0] (zero) The \xpackage{pageslts} package does nothing, thus the user is free
%  to define the page \textquotedblleft numbers\textquotedblright\ after~z and before~a.\newline
%  (But if the user does not do anything at all, the\newline
%  \ |LaTeX Error: Counter too large|\newline
%  will appear again.)
% \end{description}
%
% \DescribeMacro{AlphMulti}
% The string option \texttt{AlphMulti} takes three values: |AB|, |BB|, |0|:
% \begin{description}
% \item[AB] After page Z, the page \textquotedblleft numbers\textquotedblright\ continue with
%  AA, AB, AC, AD,\ldots, and before A with 0, -A, -B,\ldots, -Z, -AA, \mbox{-AB,\ldots .}
% \item[BB] After page Z, the page \textquotedblleft numbers\textquotedblright\ continue with
%  AA, BB, CC, DD,\ldots, and before A with 0, -A, -B,\ldots, -Z, -AA, \mbox{-BB,\ldots .}
% \item[0] (zero) The \xpackage{pageslts} package does nothing, thus the user is free
%  to define the page \textquotedblleft numbers\textquotedblright\ after~Z and before~A.\newline
%  (But if the user does not do anything at all, the\newline
%  \ |LaTeX Error: Counter too large|\newline
%  will appear again.)
% \end{description}
%
% \DescribeMacro{fnsymbolmult}
% When option \texttt{fnsymbolmult=false} is \textbf{not} given

% at all), after \mbox{5 (\ensuremath {\mathparagraph })} the page
% \textquotedblleft number\textquotedblright\ is continued with the doubled

% \ensuremath{\mathsection\mathsection}, \ensuremath{\mathparagraph\mathparagraph}),

% If this is not wanted, set option \texttt{fnsymbolmult=false}, and \xpackage{pageslts}
% will do nothing and allow the user to change the page
% \textquotedblleft number\textquotedblright . (But if the user does not do anything at all,
% the\newline
% \ |LaTeX Error: Counter too large|\newline
% will appear again.)
%
% \subsubsection{romanMult, RomanMulti\label{sss:romanMult}}
% \DescribeMacro{romanMult}
% \DescribeMacro{RomanMulti}
% The options \texttt{romanMult(=}\,\texttt{true)} and \texttt{RomanMulti(=}\,\texttt{true)}
% expand the |\roman| and |\Roman| page numbering scheme to values below one ($<1$),
% i.\,e.~0, -i, -ii, -iii, -iv,\ldots\ and 0, -I, -II, -III, -IV,\ldots, respectively.\newline
% Again the \TeX\ capacity will be exceeded well before \mbox{$\pm$ |MAX|\,}%
% $ = \pm 2\,147\,483\,647$. If the expansion below~$1$ is not wanted, set options
% \texttt{romanMult=false} and/or \texttt{RomanMulti=false}, and \xpackage{pageslts}
% will do nothing and allow the user to change the page
% \textquotedblleft number\textquotedblright. (But if the user does not do anything at all,
% \LaTeX\ will just ignore those values -- not even a warning will be issued!)
%
% \subsubsection{Arabic page numbers}
% \DescribeMacro{Arabic page numbers}
% In \LaTeX\ arabic (page) numbers are already possible between |-MAX...MAX|, where
% |MAX|\,$ = 2\,147\,483\,647$ (cf.~the \xpackage{alphalph} package), without any expansion necessary.
%
% \subsection{Labels}
% \DescribeMacro{pagesLTS.0}
% At the first page a label \texttt{pagesLTS.0} is created. If |\pagenumbering{...}| is used right after
% |\begin{document}|, this is much easier for the \xpackage{pageslts} package (and chances for
% successful placing of all labels are much higher; \nolinebreak{cf.~subsubsection~\ref{sss:once}).}\bigskip
%
% \DescribeMacro{LastPage}
% |\AddToHook{enddocument/afterlastpage}| (formerly: |\AtEndDocument}| this package defines a label,
% \texttt{LastPage}, which the user can refer to with the |\lastpageref{LastPage}| command.
% In former times |\pageref{LastPage}| did not work when used together with the \xpackage{hyperref}
% package and the |fnsymbol| page numbering scheme. This should work now.\bigskip
%
% \DescribeMacro{VeryLastPage}
% |\AddToHook{enddocument/afterlastpage}| (formerly: |\AfterLastShipout|) the label
% \texttt{VeryLastPage} is defined, which the user can also refer to with the
% |\lastpageref{VeryLastPage}| command. With the new kernel hooks \texttt{LastPage}
% as well as \texttt{VeryLastPage} point to the last page indeed.\bigskip
%
% \DescribeMacro{LastPages}
% \DescribeMacro{page number}
% \DescribeMacro{number of pages}
% When more than one page numbering scheme is used, neither \texttt{LastPage} nor
% \texttt{VeryLastPage} give the total \textbf{number} of pages. For example, for a document
% with VI+36 pages, both give \textquotedblleft 36\textquotedblright\ as reference to the last page.
% While this is correct, the total number of pages is 42, and this is given by the reference to
% \texttt{LastPage\underline{s}}: \nolinebreak{|\lastpageref{LastPage|\underline{|s|}|}|} (note the
% \textquotedblleft s\textquotedblright\ at the end). When the page number was manipulated by
% |\addtocounter{page}{...}| or |\setcounter{page}{...}|, \texttt{LastPages} ignores this.
% (At a page numbering change the page is automatically reset to one (without option
% |pagecontinue|). This is done by |\setcounter{page}{1}|, thus this is ignored, too.)\bigskip
%
% \DescribeMacro{totpages}
% |\pageref{totpages}| of the \xpackage{totpages} package is similar to
% |\lastpageref{LastPages}|, but while the target for
% |\pageref{totpages}| is placed |\AtEndDocument|, the target for
% |\lastpageref{LastPages}| is placed in the hook |enddocument/afterlastpage|,
% therefore |\lastpageref{LastPages}| is safer to really get the total page number.\bigskip
%
% \DescribeMacro{\@abspage@last}
% Nowadays the kernel provides |\@abspage@last|, which contains the number of pages.\bigskip
%
% \DescribeMacro{\theCurrentPage}
% |\theCurrentPage| gives the current total/absolute page, in contrast to |\thepage|,
% which gives only the page \textit{name} in the current page numbering scheme. For example,
% when there are Roman VII~pages in the frontmatter and afterwards in the mainmatter you are
% at arabic page~9, then |\theCurrentPage| is~16, whereas |\thepage| is~9. When the page
% \textquotedblleft number\textquotedblright\ (name) is manipulated by
% |\addtocounter{page}{...}| or |\setcounter{page}{...}|, |\theCurrentPage| ignores this.
% Because \texttt{CurrentPage} is a normal counter, you can also say e.\,g.~|\Roman{CurrentPage}|
% to get the value in Roman page numbering scheme (e.\,g.~VIII for~8).\bigskip
%
% \phantomsection
% \DescribeMacro{\theCurrentPageLocal}
% |\theCurrentPageLocal|\label{CurrentPageLocal} gives the current (arabic)
% number of pages in the current page numbering scheme. |\thepage| and |\theCurrentPageLocal|
% are different e.\,g.~when |\addtocounter{page}{...}| or |\setcounter{page}{...}| were used.\newline
% |\theCurrentPageLocal| can be printed in other formats,
% e.\,g.~|\roman{pagesLTS.current.local.roman}|, but probably it only makes sense
% if page numbering scheme and format are the same,
% e.\,g.~|\Roman{pagesLTS.current.local.Roman}| or\newline
% |\Alph{pagesLTS.current.local.Alph}|.
% \pagebreak
% |\arabic{pagesLTS.current.local.|\ldots|}| probably make sense even when combined with
% another page numbering scheme. And this is exactly what |\theCurrentPageLocal| does:\newline
% |\def\theCurrentPageLocal{\arabic{pagesLTS.current.local.\pagesLTS@pnc}}|.\bigskip
%
% \DescribeMacro{pagesLTS. page numbering scheme . number }
% If you want to refer to the last page of the first, second,\ldots\ use of a
% page numbering scheme, you can refer to\linebreak
% |pagesLTS.<page numbering scheme>.<number>|, e.\,g.~|\lastpageref{pagesLTS.Roman.1}|,
% where |<number>| is the occurrence of the page numbering scheme. For details please see
% page~\pageref{pagesLTS.pnscheme.nr}.\bigskip
%
% \DescribeMacro{\lastpageref}
% In former times for pages with the \texttt{fnsymbol} page numbering scheme,
% |\lastpageref{...}| instead of |\pageref{...}| had to be used.
% |\lastpageref| can be used for all pages.

% \subsubsection{If \texttt{\textbackslash pagenumbering\{\ldots \}} is \textbf{not} used\label{sss:nopnc}}
% When the \xpackage{pageslts} package is used, but |\pagenumbering{...}| (with an argument like
% arabic, roman, Roman, fnsymbol, alph, or Alph) is not used, there should be no problem,
% except that you might need more~(!) compiler runs to get all references right, and some
% references might even be missing (see below). The \xpackage{pageslts} package tries to determine
% the page numbering scheme at the first shipout, but success is not guaranteed. Thus please use
% |\pagenumbering{...}| at the beginning of your document!\newline
% Without |\pagenumbering{<something>}| (|<something>| e.\,g.~=~arabic) at the beginning of the document,
% the page numbers might be given in arabic \textit{by} (class) \textit{default}, but the
% \xpackage{pageslts} package does not know about this without |\pagenumbering{arabic}|.~--\newline
% The label \texttt{pagesLTS.0} is created at the first page even if no |\pagenumbering{...}| command
% is given. Maybe have a look at the \xfile{.aux} file after compiling your document to detect
% further labels (of other packages, too).
%
% \subsubsection{If \texttt{\textbackslash pagenumbering\{\ldots \}} is used once\label{sss:once}}
% \DescribeMacro{pagesLTS.0}
% At the first page a label \texttt{pagesLTS.0} is created. If |\pagenumbering{...}| is used

% Everything from the preceding subsubsections applies and additionally the following:\bigskip
%
% When different page numbering schemes are used, e.\,g.~Roman numbers for the frontmatter
% and arabic numbers for the mainmatter, please use |\pagenumbering{...}| for each of them!
% Even if you do this, the reference to neither the label \texttt{LastPage} nor the label
% \texttt{VeryLastPage} gives the \textbf{total} number of pages, but only the number of pages
% of the last used page numbering scheme (which could be exactly what you want,

% total number of pages).\bigskip
%
% \DescribeMacro{LastPages}
% For remediation the label \nolinebreak{\texttt{LastPage}\textbf{\underline{s}}} (with

% If the same page numbering scheme is used twice (or even more often) in one document
% (e.\,g.\ in the frontmatter Roman: I--V, in the mainmatter arabic: 1--20, and in the

% It is even possible to use a~page numbering scheme more than twice.\bigskip

% \section{A few warnings\label{sec:warn}}
% \subsection{Hyperref and repeated page numbers}
% When two (or more) different page numbering schemes are used, or the page number is reset,
% or for any other reason there are two pages with the same number (maybe in different format,
% e.\,g.~$1$ and \textsc{I}), and \xpackage{hyperref} has not been configured right,
% this can cause problems. Use \xpackage{hyperref} with \texttt{plainpages=false} and
% \texttt{pdfpagelabels=true}, and everything should be fine. More details can be found at
% \url{https://texfaq.org/FAQ-pdfpagelabels}.
%
% \subsection{\xpackage{showkeys} package\label{ssec:showkeys}}
% When the \xpackage{showkeys} package has been loaded in \texttt{draft} mode,
% in the margin for each label a~box is displayed with the name of the label.
% \xpackage{showkeys} accomplishes this by redefining |\label|, but
% \xpackage{pageslts} does not always use |\label|, but sometimes writes directly into
% the {\nobreak |\jobname|\xfile{.aux}-}\allowbreak file, and this is generally done
% \emph{after} the according page has shipped out, therefore no box can be placed
% on the \emph{preceding} page. At~least \xpackage{pageslts} gives a warning, that
% \xpackage{showkeys} cannot present the respective label.
%
% \subsection{\xpackage{lastpage} package\label{ssec:lastpage}}
% This package first started as a revision of the \xpackage{lastpage} package of
% \textsc{Jeffrey P. Goldberg} (jeffrey+news at goldmark dot org), but then I deemed
% a replacement necessary to accomplish what this package does. For backward compatibility,
% a~label named |LastPage| is provided. Thus |\usepackage{lastpage}| can be replaced by\newline
% |\usepackage[pagecontinue=false,alphMult=0,AlphMulti=0,fnsymbolmult=false,romanMult=false,RomanMulti=false%|%
% \linebreak{}|  ]{pageslts}|,\newline
% if the behaviour of the \xpackage{lastpage} package should be simulated.
% It is also possible to load both packages (if recent versions are used).
%
% \subsection{Using an unknown page numbering scheme\label{sec:unknown}}
% While at the time of the latest revision of the \xpackage{pageslts} package
% no other page numbering schemes (e.\,g.~Greek, Hebraic) were known to the maintainer,
% this package in principle works with every scheme which is recognized by the original
% |\pagenumbering| command. But the \xpackage{hyperref} package only then works with
% special page names, if the references to those pages are given in a certain way,
% thus the combination of a new page numbering scheme, the \xpackage{hyperref} and the
% \xpackage{pageslts} package might not work.~--
% The \xpackage{pageslts} package by itself also works with schemes, which the original
% |\pagenumbering{...}| does not recognize, but because the original
% |\pagenumbering{...}| is called by the \xpackage{pageslts} package, this might cause
% an error. Especially if the last page uses this new page numbering scheme,
% you should check everything double (at least).\newline
% And if the number format is unknown to \LaTeX , the pages will have no number, and
% therefore cannot be referenced. You might be able to help yourself by using the
% \xpackage{hyperref} package and manually placing |\phantomsectin|\,s and
% \nolinebreak{|\label{|\ldots|}|\,s} or even |\hypertarget|\,s and
% \nolinebreak{|\href|\,s.}\pagebreak

%
% \section{Alternatives\label{sec:Alternatives}}
% There are similar packages, which do (or do not) similar things.
% As I neither know what exactly you want to accomplish when using this package
% (e.\,g.~page number vs. page name, hyperlinks or not), nor what resources
% your system has (e.\,g.~\TeX, \LaTeX2e, $\varepsilon$-\TeX{}, \LaTeX-format as recent
% as 2024-06-01 or newer), here is a list of some possible alternatives:
% \begin{description}
% \item[-]\DescribeMacro{LaTeX-kernel}
%  The number of pages is nowadays available via |\@abspage@last|,
%  |\thetotalpages|, and |\PreviousTotalPages| from the kernel,
%  but when more than one page numbering scheme is used
%  (for example pages I~to X and then 1~to 10, thus number of pages
%  \hbox{\textquotedblleft 20\textquotedblright ,} but name of the last page
%  \hbox{\textquotedblleft 10\textquotedblright ),}
%  or when or the fnsymbol page numbering scheme is used, or another package
%  has output after this package, or the page numbers exceed a certain range,
%  there might be issues. (Is the total number of pages wanted? Or is the name
%  of the last page sought?)\newline
%  |\the\ReadonlyShipoutCounter| contains the number of currently shipped out pages,
%  i.\,e.~current page minus one.
%
% \item[-]\DescribeMacro{LastPage}
%  The \xpackage{lastpage} package also provides the \texttt{LastPage} label
%  (but not \texttt{VeryLastPage} or \texttt{LastPages}). If you only want this and/or
%  have a quite limited amount of \TeX\ resources, you might want to use that package instead.
%  It includes versions for older \LaTeX-kernels and even for \mbox{\LaTeX2.09{}.}\newline
%  \url{https://ctan.org/pkg/lastpage}
%
% \item[-]\DescribeMacro{totpages}
%  The \xpackage{totpages} package provides a \texttt{totpages} label similar to
%  \texttt{LastPages}, but |\AtEndDocument| instead of hook |enddocument/|\linebreak |afterlastpage|.
%  Therefore you should stay with \xpackage{pageslts}.
%  The \xpackage{totpages} package additionally computes the number of paper sheets
%  needed to (double) print the document (with one, two, three,\ldots{} pages on
%  one sheet of paper) (which can be achieved also with the \xpackage{papermas} package
%  (see \autoref{ss:papermas}).\newline
%  \url{https://ctan.org/pkg/totpages}
%
% \item[-]\DescribeMacro{totalcount}
%  The \xpackage{totalcount} package provides |\totalpages|.
%  If there are only arabic page numbers consecutively running from 1 to the last page,
%  this works. But for example
%
% \begin{quote}
%\begin{verbatim}
%\documentclass{article}
%\usepackage[page]{totalcount}
%\pagenumbering{Roman}
%\begin{document}
%\addtocounter{page}{49}
%Page \thepage{} of \totalpages
%\end{document}
%\end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
%
%  prints \textquotedblleft Page L of 50\textquotedblright,
%  where the number of pages is one (and no hyperlink is provided to the
%  last page even if \xpackage{hyperref} is used).\newline
%  \url{https://ctan.org/pkg/totalcount}
%
% \item[-]\DescribeMacro{totcount}
%  The \xpackage{totcount} package provides the last value of a counter, thus also the value
%  of the \texttt{page} counter. You do not get a hyperlink to the last page, only the numerical
%  value of the last page name is given \mbox{(i.\,e.~X+72} pages gives 72 instead of 82
%  as total number of pages), and the number of pages can be changed for example
%  by |\addtocounter|.\newline
%  \url{https://ctan.org/pkg/totcount}
%
% \item[-]\DescribeMacro{nofm}
%  \textquotedblleft There is a package \xpackage{nofm.sty} available, but some versions
%  of it are defective, and most don't work with \xpackage{fancyhdr} because they take over
%  the complete page layout.\textquotedblright{} (\textsc{Piet van Oostrum}:
%  Page layout in \LaTeX , March~2, 2004, section~16; fancyhdr.pdf)\newline
%  \xpackage{nofm} as of 1991/02/25 (without version number), available at\newline
%  \url{https://mirror.ctan.org/obsolete/macros/latex209/contrib/misc/nofm.sty},\newline
%  does not work with e.\,g.~\xpackage{hyperref}, redefines |\enddocument|
%  as well as |\@oddhead|, |\@evenhead|, |\@oddfoot|, and |\@evenfoot|.\newline
%  If you know the (\url{https://CTAN.org}) location of a
%  \textbf{working}~(!) version, please send me an e-mail, thanks!
%
% \item[-]\DescribeMacro{count1to}
%  The \xpackage{count1to} package \textquotedblleft sets |\count1| to |\count8|

(\texttt{roman} page numbering was started before,
because the page numbering scheme was needed to start at
the first page, of course.)\bigskip

First page (\verb|\lastpageref{pagesLTS.0}|):
\lastpageref{pagesLTS.0}\bigskip

The page (\verb|\thepage|): \thepage \bigskip

Current page (\verb|\theCurrentPage|),
i.\,e.~counted continuously from the first\linebreak page):~\theCurrentPage \bigskip
You can get this also in other formats:
\roman{CurrentPage}, \Roman{CurrentPage}, \arabic{CurrentPage},
\fnsymbol{CurrentPage}, \alph{CurrentPage}, \Alph{CurrentPage}.

CurrentPageLocal (\verb|\theCurrentPageLocal|),
i.\,e.~counted continuously from the first page of the
current page numbering scheme (if option pagecontinue=false: sector)):
\theCurrentPageLocal\newline
You can get also this in other formats, too:
\roman{pagesLTS.current.local.roman}, \Roman{pagesLTS.current.local.roman},
\arabic{pagesLTS.current.local.roman}, \fnsymbol{pagesLTS.current.local.roman},
\alph{pagesLTS.current.local.roman}, \Alph{pagesLTS.current.local.roman},
but probably it only makes sense if page numbering scheme and format are
the same, e.\,g.\newline
\verb|\Roman{pagesLTS.current.local.Roman}|\newline
or \verb|\Alph{pagesLTS.current.local.Alph}|. \verb|\arabic{...}| could
make sense even if combined with another page numbering scheme.
And this is exactly what \verb|\theCurrentPageLocal| does:\newline
\nolinebreak{\verb|\def\theCurrentPageLocal{\arabic{pagesLTS.current.local.\pagesLTS@pnc}}|.}\bigskip

The page number starts with \textquotedblleft I\textquotedblright{} again for
option just \texttt{pagecontinue=false}, but for option \texttt{pagecontinue=true},
or with option just \texttt{pagecontinue}, or even just
\nolinebreak{with\textbf{out}} option \texttt{pagecontinue=false}
the page numbers are continued.

This package remembered the
$\arabic{pagesLTS.double.Roman}-1$,
i.\,e.~\the\numexpr\value{pagesLTS.double.Roman}-1\relax, pages
already done in Roman output, and therefore continues with page
\textquotedblleft\Roman{pagesLTS.double.Roman}\textquotedblright{} in
case of option \texttt{pagecontinue}.\newline
If you want to start with \textquotedblleft I\textquotedblright{} all
over again, you will have two pages with the same name,
but nevertheless you can do this by using option \texttt{pagecontinue=false}
or a \verb|\setcounter{page}{1}|\ here (not demonstrated in this example file).\bigskip

There was the question: \textquotedblleft With option \verb|pagecontinue=false|,
how do I get the number of pages in each number block (e.\,g.~in the first Roman section,
second Roman section, third Roman section) with just one command?\textquotedblright

\verb|pagesLTS.\pagesLTS@pnc.\arabic{pagesLTS.pnc.\pagesLTS@pnc}.local| is:

\item[-] \verb|\arabic{pagesLTS.pnc.\pagesLTS@pnc}| is the value of counter\newline
          \verb|pagesLTS.pnc.\pagesLTS@pnc| printed in arabic numbers (1, 2, 3, ...) -- see below.
\item[-] \verb|local|: Local there are 5 pages with Roman numbering in this example, globally there are
          $3+5+4=12$~pages with Roman numbering in this example, and the local numbers are wanted.
\end{description}
The counter \verb|pagesLTS.pnc.\pagesLTS@pnc| gives the number of the\newline
\verb|\pagesLTS@pnc| page numbering scheme currently used, i.\,e.~we have consecutivly\newpage

Well. You can use \verb|gobble| as page numbering scheme. It gobbles the page numbers,
i.\,e.~there is no page number. Maybe \verb|\thispagestyle{empty}| is more useful?
Do not expect to be able to make working references to pages without page number,
and do expect to get
\begin{verbatim}
pdfTeX warning (ext4): destination with the same identifier
(name{page.}) has been already used, duplicate ignored
<to be read again>
\end{verbatim}

The page (\verb|\thepage|): \thepage{} (There is a nothing between two spaces there.)\bigskip

Current page (\verb|\theCurrentPage|),
i.\,e.~counted continuously from the first page): \theCurrentPage \bigskip

CurrentPageLocal (\verb|\theCurrentPageLocal|),
i.\,e.~counted continuously from the first page of the
current page numbering scheme (if option pagecontinue=false: sector)): \theCurrentPageLocal \bigskip

There are \lastpageref*{pagesLTS.gobble.local} pages with gobbled numbers (i.\,e.~without numbers).

% If you have a \xfile{docstrip.cfg} that configures and enables \docstrip's
% TDS installing feature, then some files can already be in the right
% place, see the documentation of \docstrip.
%
% \subsection{Refresh file name databases}
% If your \TeX~distribution (\TeX\,Live, \mikTeX, \dots) relies on
% file name databases, you must refresh these. For example, \TeX\,Live\ users
% run \verb|texhash| or \verb|mktexlsr|.
%
% \subsection{Some details for the interested}
% \paragraph{Unpacking with \LaTeX.}
% The \xfile{.dtx} chooses its action depending on the format:
% \begin{description}
% \item[\plainTeX:] Run \docstrip\ and extract the files.
% \item[\LaTeX:] Generate the documentation.
% \end{description}
% If you insist on using \LaTeX\ for \docstrip\ (really,
% \docstrip\ does not need \LaTeX), then inform the autodetect routine
% about your intention:
% \begin{quote}
%   \verb|latex \let\install=y\input{pageslts.dtx}|
% \end{quote}
% Do not forget to quote the argument according to the demands
% of your shell.
%
% \paragraph{Generating the documentation.\label{GenDoc}}
% You can use both the \xfile{.dtx} or the \xfile{.drv} to generate
% the documentation. The process can be configured by a
% configuration file \xfile{ltxdoc.cfg}. For instance, put the following
% line into this file, if you want to have A4 as paper format:
% \begin{quote}
%   \verb|\PassOptionsToClass{a4paper}{article}|
% \end{quote}
%
% \noindent An example follows how to generate the
% documentation with \pdfLaTeX :
%
% \begin{quote}
%\begin{verbatim}
%pdflatex pageslts.dtx
%makeindex -s gind.ist pageslts.idx
%pdflatex pageslts.dtx
%makeindex -s gind.ist pageslts.idx
%pdflatex pageslts.dtx
%\end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
%
% \subsection{Compiling the example}
% The example file, \textsf{pageslts-example.tex}, can be compiled via\newline
%  |latex pageslts-example.tex|\newline
% or (recommended)\newline
%  |pdflatex pageslts-example.tex|\newline
% and will need \textit{at least} (!) three compiler runs to get all references right.

%     \item Abstract changed: Negative \texttt{roman} and \texttt{Roman} page
%            numbers are now possible.
%     \item Several typing mistakes have been corrected~-
%            both in the \xfile{sty}le file as well as in this documentation.

%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2010/07/15 v1.1d \xpackage{pagesLTS}}
%     \item Added the |\@ifclassloaded{revtex4}| code for |\lastpage@putlabel| (changed to
%            |\pagesLTS@putlabelhyper|) from the \xpackage{hyperref} package \textbf{as comment}.
%     \item In the documentation added the explanation of the occurence of multiply definitions
%            of the |LastPage| label with \xpackage{lastpage}, \xpackage{pagesLTS}, \xpackage{hyperref}
%            package (in that order).
%     \item Updated to (then) new version of \xpackage{undolabl} package [2010/07/15] v1.0d,
%            which uses |\undonewlabel| with only one instead of two arguments.
%     \item Added a warning message, if \xpackage{hyperref} \textit{and} \xpackage{pdfpages} were \textit{both} used.
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2010/07/29 v1.1e \xpackage{pagesLTS}}
%     \item Removed \xpackage{lastpage209.sty}, because it is now contained
%             in the \xpackage{lastpage}\xfile{.dtx}\ file, v\,$\geq 1.2$a.

%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2010/08/08 v1.1f \xpackage{pagesLTS}}
%     \item Version 1.1e had a bug: AlphAlph was replaced by alphalph (because that package is named like this),
%             but this was done also in commands and definitions~- now reverted.
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2010/08/12 v1.1g \xpackage{pagesLTS}}
%     \item Now the rerun warning is given \textit{after} e.\,g.~the |\listfiles|,
%             increasing the chance of the user to read it.
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2010/08/23 v1.1h \xpackage{pagesLTS}}
%     \item Renamed |\XXRoman| to |\XRoman|.
%     \item Reduced the number of needed counters.
%     \item Removed wrong \% from the driver file.
%     \item Changed the |\unit| definition (got rid of an old |\rm|).
%     \item Without use of the \xpackage{hyperref} package, labels of type
%             \texttt{pagesLTS.}\meta{page numbering scheme}\texttt{.local}
%             became multiply defined. Now an |\undolabl| was inserted.
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2010/08/25 v1.1i \xpackage{pagesLTS}}
%     \item Bug fix: \textsf{tcilatex} defines the |\hyperref| command, therefore
%             for \xpackage{hyperref} package detection this had to be changed to
%             |\Hy@Warning|.
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2010/09/12 v1.1j \xpackage{pagesLTS}}
%     \item Bug fix: \LaTeX{} issued a \textquotedblleft \texttt{Label(s) may have changed.%
%             Rerun to get cross-references right.}\textquotedblright -warning,
%             even if labels had not changed but were overwritten.
%     \item Starred version of |\lastpageref| for suppressing hyperlinks introduced.
%     \item A lot of details.
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2010/09/22 v1.1k \xpackage{pagesLTS}}
%     \item When no \texttt{fnsymbol} pagenumbering scheme is used, the respective
%             counters are not defined, saving three counters.
%     \item Moved the package from \texttt{.../latex/muench/pagesLTS/...} to
%             \texttt{.../latex/pagesLTS/...}.
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2010/09/27 v1.1l \xpackage{pagesLTS}}
%     \item Bug fix: |\PackageError{pagesLTS}{pagenumbering missing}{\pagesLTS@messageNPN }|
%             had to be moved to the outside of |\EveryShipout|, because it wrote its
%             message into the document instead to the screen and the \xfile{.log}-file.
%     \item Updated to version 2010/04/24 v0.19 of the \xpackage{holtxdoc} package.
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2011/02/01 v1.1m \xpackage{pagesLTS}}

%             numbers.
%     \item Bug fix: Missing \% after |-\romannumeral\number-\arabic{#1}| added.
%     \item The (then) new version v2.4i of the \xpackage{endfloat} package was then
%             even older than 15~years.
%     \item Put a warning in the documentation as well as in the \xfile{log}-file and
%             at the screen during compilation about the \xpackage{showkeys} package.
%             (The labels of the \xpackage{pagesLTS} package cannot be shown by the
%             \xpackage{showkeys} package.)
%     \item Bug fix: In some situations a rerun warning was given even if no rerun
%             was necessary.
%     \item The option \texttt{alphMult}\ \ is now set to \texttt{ab} by default.
%     \item The option \texttt{AlphMulti}\ is now set to \texttt{AB} by default.
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2011/03/16 v1.1n \xpackage{pagesLTS}}
%     \item Bug fix: Handling of option |pagecontinue=false| changed.
%             When |pagecontinue=false| was used, but also a
%             |alphMult|, |AlphMulti|, |fnsymbolmult|, |romanMult| or |RomanMulti| option
%             other than |0| or |false|, respectively, was used, the page numbering
%             \textit{was} continued/extended. Now a warning is issued in case of such
%             option clash and |pagecontinue=false| is heeded, disabling all continuation.
%     \item Bug fix: |\ProvidesPackage{pagesLTS}| contained an older date (2010/09/27 of v1.1l
%             instead of 2011/02/01 of v1.1m).
%     \item Bug fix: The \xpackage{ulem} package is needed to generate the documentation from the
%             \xfile{pagesLTS.dtx} file, but was not listed as necessary package.
%     \item Bug fix: One reference to an outdated version of \xpackage{undolabl} package,
%             replaced by the (then) recent version.
%     \item Some minor details.
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2011/03/17 v1.1o \xpackage{pagesLTS}}
%     \item Documentation and ReadMe bug fix: This \xpackage{pagesLTS} package is located at
%             \url{https://ctan.org/pkg/pageslts} instead of \ldots /pagesLTS/.
%     \item There is a new (possible) alternative package, \xpackage{totcount},
%             see section~\ref{sec:Alternatives}.
%     \item Bug fix: There was a reference to \xpackage{lastpage} 1994/07/20, v0.1b,
%             instead of the current version.
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2011/08/08 v1.2a}
%     \item \textbf{Renamed the package from \xpackage{pagesLTS} to \xpackage{pageslts}
%             (keeping family, prefix, internal commands,\ldots{} as |pagesLTS|).}
%             Added checking against double loading as \xpackage{pagesLTS} and \xpackage{pageslts}.
%     \item The \xpackage{holtxdoc} package was fixed (recent: 2011/02/04, v0.21), therefore
%             the warning in \xfile{drv} could be removed.
%     \item |\AtEndAfterFileList| from the (then) new version of the \xpackage{atveryend} package,
%             2011/04/23, v1.7, by \textsc{Heiko Oberdiek}, is now used for the rerun hint
%             instead of appending to |\@dofilelist|.
%     \item Now defining $2$: |\def\pagesLTS@two{2}| and $3$: |\def\pagesLTS@three{3}|.
%     \item Replaced |\texttt{\textbackslash|\ldots|}| by
%             \textbar \textbackslash \ldots \textbar{} in the \xfile{dtx} and by
%             |\verb|\textbar \textbackslash \ldots \textbar{} in the example (where possible).
%     \item When the \xpackage{alphalph} package is needed, it is loaded via |\RequirePackage|
%             instead of crashing with an error message.
%     \item A lot of details (also in the documentation).
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2013/01/28 v1.2b}
%     \item Updated to \TeX{} live 2012 (for compiling the documentation and example)
%             and installed the available updates. Therefore I can no longer test
%             whether \xpackage{pageslts} works with earlier versions of \LaTeX{}.
%     \item Replaced |\let| by |\LetLtxMacro|.
%     \item The \xpackage{nameref} package redefines |\label| to have five arguments
%             instead of two, therefore |\newlabel{LastPage}{{}{\thepage}{}{}{}}| instead of
%             |\newlabel{LastPage}{{}{\thepage}}| must be used.
%             (Bug reported at \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/95541/6865},
%             thanks to Micha\l{} Herman!) Fixed. [Later in the kernel \textit{all} labels
%             got defined to have five arguments.]
%     \item Updates to a lot of details, also in the documentation.
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2014/01/19 v1.2c}
%     \item Bug: missing loop, fix: inserted.
%     \item Bug: when option |pagecontinue=false| was set, the extension of the
%             page numbering schemes was disabled by mistake, fixed.
%     \item Now using |\ltx@ifpackageloaded| from the \xpackage{ltxcmds} package
%             for checking (even \emph{after} |\AtBeginDocument|)
%             whether a package has been loaded.
%     \item Bug: incompatibility with \xpackage{lineno} because of a mistake
%             in the redefined |\pagenumbering|, fixed. (Bug reported by \textsc{kwikwi}, thanks!)
%     \item Bug: When |\pagenumbering| preceded |\frontmatter| on the same page
%             but with different argument than the |\pagenumbering|, which was inside
%             |\frontmatter|, then some labelling got mixed up.
%             (Also this bug reported by \textsc{kwikwi}, thanks!) While this is not fixed automatically,
%             now an appropriate error message is given. (Two different page numbering schemes
%             on the same page make no sense anyway.)
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2015/08/02 v1.2d}
%     \item Updated to \TeX{} Live 2015 (for compiling the documentation and example)
%             and installed the available updates. Therefore I can no longer test
%             whether \xpackage{pageslts} works with earlier versions of \LaTeX .
%     \item A |ifundefinedorrelax| similar to the one from \xpackage{scrbase.sty}
%             of the KOMA script bundle as 2013/12/19 v3.12 is used now,
%             without the need for \eTeX .
%     \item New versions of Adobe Reader and of some packages have become available.
%     \item Changed the message (type) to be displayed if writing to files is disallowed
%             (as pointed out by \textsc{Joshua Ellis}, thanks!).
%     \item Updates to several details, also in the documentation.
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2015/08/17 v1.2e}
%     \item Bug fix, see \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/261445/6865},
%             thank you to \textsc{Prof. Enrico Gregorio} for providing the fix
%             and to \textsc{Dr. Clea F. Rees} for bringing this to my attention.
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2015/12/21 v1.2f}
%     \item Replaced |\next| with |\@pageslts@currname|.
%     \item Bug fix, see \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/140235/6865}.
%             If the bug had been actually reported (instead of waiting until I see
%             the question), I would have fixed it earlier, of course.
%     \item Changed minor details like fixing urls in the manual.
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2024-11-20 v2.0a}
%     \item Kernel-updates broke the package, the package was repaired and updated
%             to the new kernel-code; ports from \xpackage{lastpage}.
%     \item Removed |\unit|.
%     \item Removed |\XXRoman| (deprecated at least since 2015).
%     \item Removed code from/need for packages \xpackage{prelim2e}, \xpackage{ltxcmds},
%             \xpackage{atveryend}, \xpackage{etoolbox}, \xpackage{everyshi},
%             \xpackage{letltxmacro}, and \xpackage{rerunfilecheck}.
%     \item Removed checks for available \eTeX, \xpackage{endfloats} package from 1992,
%             \xpackage{pagesLTS} package from 2011, \xpackage{hyperref} from 2015 etc.
%     \item Renamed |\pagesLTS@ifcounter| to |\pagesLTS@providecounter|.
%     \item Renamed |\pagesLTS.lastpage| to |\pagesLTSlastpage|.
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2024-12-07 v2.0b}
%     \item Bug fix: |pagecontinue=false| did not reset everything always fully correct.
%     \item Instead of requiring the \xpackage{kvoptions} package, kernel commands are used.
%     \item Now compatible with the \xpackage{romanbarpagenumber} package,
%             even independent of loading order.
%     \item When more than one |\pagenumbering| command is given before the end of the first page
%             (maybe in the preamble), all but the last |\pagenumbering| are ignored
%             (as also \LaTeX{} would naturally do).
%     \item The saved |\OrigPagenumbering| is used in both places now
%             instead of the plain definition from the kernel,
%             so any change before the \xpackage{pageslts} package is taken into account.
%     \item Changed the \autoref{sec:Alternatives}: \nameref{sec:Alternatives},
%             mirroring the one from the current \xpackage{lastpage} package.
%     \item For cases when |\@currentHpage| is just |page.|, the warning text has been corrected.
%     \item Page numbering scheme |silly| (from \href{https://ctan.org/pkg/sillypage}{%
%            \xpackage{sillypage} package}) now works.
%     \item Page numbering scheme |gobble| now works. (Is that silly?!)
%     \item Added |\ProvideTextCommand{\textasteriskcentered}{PD1}{*}|.
%     \item Missing |\if@filesw \fi| added.
%     \item Recent \xpackage{undolabl} package ($\geq$ 2024-12-05 v1.0n) required!
%   \end{Version}
%   \begin{Version}{2024-12-23 v2.0c}
%     \item Bug fix: Error handling for missing |\pagenumbering| now needs
%             two \mbox{\texttt{\textbackslash}|expandafter|\,s.}
%   \end{Version}
