Feature: Show page numbers visually #2567

Open ddfreiling opened 2 months ago

ddfreiling commented 2 months ago

A highly requested feature from our study-book users is being able to visually see the page numbers of the book.

Could this be made as a togglable feature? We'd love to give the implementation a shot, if EDRLab is onboard with having this feature in Thorium Reader.

This is related to discussion https://github.com/edrlab/thorium-reader/discussions/1799, and #1951.

The main difficulty for a reading system is that forcing display of page numbers will result in strange patterns as they can be in the middle of a phrase or a word.

The best UX would probably be to have a margin display.
