+This ipelet provides some page numbering features that are not covered
+by the built in page numbering mechanism.  To install the ipelet,
+download
+[pagenumbers.lua](pagenumbers.lua)
+and copy it to `~/.ipe/ipelets/` (or to some other directory for
+ipelets).
+
+# Usage #
+
+To enable page numbering, add a layer with the name
+*pagenumbers_format* to the first page.  The text objects in that
+layer are copied to every page where every occurrence of the
+placeholder `[page]` is replaced by the current page number.  This is
+done every time latex runs.
+
+## Special Layers ##
+
+In addition to the layer *pagenumbers_format* there are other layers
+with a special meaning.
+
+***pagenumbers_format*** 
+
+On this layer the format for the page numbers is specified (see
+description above).  It is not necessary (and usually not desired)
+that this layer is visible.
+
+***pagenumbers_page***
+
+This layer contains the page number and is automatically created on
+every page.  To hide the page number on a specific page, just make
+this layer invisible.
+
+***pagenumbers_dont_count***
+
+If a page contains this layer, the page count is not increased for
+this page.
+
+
+# Example #
+
+See the file
+[pagenumbers-example.ipe](pagenumbers-example.ipe)
+for an example.
