Re: how to put page X of N in header or top space?

[David Walther <david@clearbrookdistillery.com>]

Thank you Wolfgang, that worked nicely.  Two artifacts I'm not sure how to address:

I did page Page X of N, but in the output, it displays like
Page 2of 3, Page 1of 3, etc.  It ignores the space between the number and the word of.

Secondly, when I use the doublesided and the {singlesided,doublesided}
alternative page numbering, it rounds up to an even number of pages, even
though the last page is blank.  When I just use the singlesided option I get 3
pages as expected, but it doesn't do the nice interior margins and switching
sides of page numbers.  Even context doesn't view the blank page at the end as
a page, because it doesn't print the header or footer on it.
