And it's not just a Paged.js thing. No "hacks" necessary.

What browser does it work in natively? I tried this a couple of years ago and a few people claimed that it worked in kiosk mode for Chrome but I couldn't get it to work in any browser.

It looks like it should be available in all major browsers.

That said, I've always used paged.js with its polyfills to fill in other gaps. So maybe there's something I'm unaware of.

@page probably works for some things but when I tried to do page numbers it definitely didn't. I ended up hacking something together (absolute positioning a number every ~700px or whatever so it sat on the same place each page).

paged.js is a polyfill that implements this. I'm not aware of any browser that support this.

Why do you call paged.js a "hack"?

My quoted "hacks" was in response to the parent "impossible with css hacks".

I'm a big fan of paged.js.
