4.8 Your Page Labels
====================

In the PostScript file is dropped information on where sheets begin and
end, so that post processing tools know where is the physical page 1, 2
etc.  With this information can be also stored a label, i.e., a human
readable text (typically the logical page numbers), which is for
instance what 'Ghostview' shows as the list of page numbers.

   a2ps lets you define what you want in this field.

 -- Configuration Setting: PageLabelFormat: FORMAT
     Specify the FORMAT to use to label the PostScript pages.  FORMAT
     can use Escapes (Note: Escapes).  Two variables are predefined
     for this: '#{pl.short}' and '#{pl.long}'.
