Dear John,
I was playing with some code from the "details" manual. My intention was
to make "thumbholes" i.e. a coloured mark with the chapter number on it
at the edge of the page at each starting chapter. The idea is then to
cut the pages before that mark ... Though there is certain progress I am
unable to use the \headnumber[chapter] in a calculation to move the mark
down the edge for each chapter until arrived at the bottom and then
restart at the top ... (This is a wish of a bookbinder for preparing a
manual ...)
But I was able to make your "problem" work with the same approach.
Please refer to the attached file "bleedingpagenumber.tex". Though it
does surely not win a price for beauty, it works. You will have to play
with the different x and y, width and height components to move the
pagenumber to the desired place. ...
Kind regards Willi

I want to place the page number vertically centered in the
outer margin, with some prettyprinting. Does one do this
with the \setpagenumber command, the \inmargin command, or
some combination thereof?
I can figure out how to do it in plain TeX but I hate to
revert to plain just for this feature.
