The sillypage package

This is a very simple package that provides John Cleese's iconic silly walk routine as page numbering style.

Usage

Simply add \usepackage{sillypage} to your document. Then:

  • Write \pagenumbering{silly} in your document to use the page numbering style defined by this package.
  • Use the macro \silly on a counter to typeset the corresponding image for the value of that counter.
  • Use the macro \sillystep to print the step number n from the sequence of steps.
  • Write \pagenumbering{sillynumeral} in your document to use a silly numeral system.
  • Use the macro \sillynumeral to get the silly numeral system representation from the provided n value.

A sample document

Here we go:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{sillypage}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{silly}
\Blinddocument
\end{document}

Installation notes

Just note that sillywalk-map.pdf should go under the tex/ subtree (as it is required by sillypage.sty) instead of the doc/ counterpart.

Isn't this package too silly?

Yes.
